Renewal pipeline
Licences with an expiry date inside each window, counted from the board file. A licence that has already lapsed or been suspended is excluded, so these are people who currently hold a valid licence and have a renewal coming.
New master electricians per year
How many master electricians currently on the register were first issued in each year. Older years thin out as licences lapse and drop off the file, so read this as the surviving cohort, not as the number issued at the time.
TDLR does not publish an issue date in its public file, so there is no way to count new master electricians per year for Texas without inventing the number. The renewal pipeline above is published and is real.
Counted from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation public licence file, reloaded August 18, 2026. Figures describe licences on record, not businesses: one company can hold several. Confirm anything that matters at TDLR.
