Texas Master Sign Electrician license lookup — free

The senior sign-electrician license — the one that qualifies an Electrical Sign Contractor business. Search any number free and see the state's expiration date.

Checked against TDLR records

A Master Sign Electrician holds the senior license in TDLR's sign-electrician track — the person whose license qualifies an Electrical Sign Contractor business to operate at all. That makes it a single point of failure: if the master's license lapses, the contractor's authority to take sign work goes with it. Anyone hiring a sign company can check the master's number here the same way they'd check the company's contractor license.

Renewal comes around every year with a 4-hour continuing education requirement. The late ladder runs $67.50 within 90 days of expiration (against a $45 on-time fee) and $90 anywhere from 91 days to three years expired; after three years it's a brand-new application. Because a lapsed master can take the whole sign business's standing down with it, this is the renewal date sign-shop owners least want to discover late — TDLR's electrician-program fines of $1,000-$3,500 apply here too.
