Plumbing License Law

Texas · OC · §§ 1301.001 to 1301.713 · 106 sections

Overview

This act governs the practice of plumbing as a licensed occupation, setting out who must be licensed, defining the scope of regulated plumbing work, and carving out exemptions for property owners working on their own homes, for related trades such as irrigation, water well pump installation, and LP gas work, and for work performed on certain private property. It establishes a state plumbing board — specifying its membership including public members, terms, officers, grounds for removal, and staffing — and gives that board authority to adopt plumbing codes, issue rules, set and collect fees, and conduct inspections through field representatives. It also imposes standard administrative-agency requirements on the board, including conflict-of-interest and standards-of-conduct rules, separation of policymaking from staff duties, member and employee training, advisory committees, subpoena power, negotiated rulemaking and alternative dispute resolution, and a code of conduct for plumbing inspectors.
