Licensing and consumer protection in Texas
Texas does not license landscapers at the state level. Check that any landscaper you hire is insured and registered where your city requires it, before you sign a contract or pay a deposit.
Who regulates this trade
No state licence for general landscaping in Texas
Installing or repairing irrigation systems requires a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Licensed Irrigator.
Insurance and workers' compensation
No state-mandated minimum for general liability, but most reputable contractors carry $500,000–$1M. Workers' compensation is NOT required by state law, but contractors without it must provide a certificate of non-coverage. Homeowners should be aware that if a contractor's employee is injured on their property and the contractor lacks workers' comp, the homeowner could be liable.
Mechanic's lien protection
Texas mechanic's lien rules are in Chapter 53 of the Property Code (rewritten for contracts signed on or after January 1, 2022). On a residential project the original contractor must file a lien affidavit with the county clerk by the 15th day of the third month after the month the work was completed, terminated or abandoned (§53.052), and must send you a copy. A lien on your homestead is only valid if a written contract was signed before work began and filed with the county clerk (§53.254). Subcontractors and suppliers who go unpaid must send you notice before they can claim a lien, so ask for signed lien waivers from the contractor and major subcontractors with each payment.

What catches homeowners out in Texas
Texas does not have a state licensing requirement for general residential contractors or roofers — this is a critical distinction from many other states. Anyone can legally call themselves a general contractor or roofer in Texas, which makes local due diligence essential. Some municipalities (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston) enforce their own local registration or permit requirements. For trade-specific work, verify plumbing licenses through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE), and electrical and HVAC licenses through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), as these trades are state-regulated in Texas.
