What the Texas data shows for Roofers

Texas sets the entry bar for roofers at board-approved training and a passing score on a state-approved exam. The credential is administered under Texas's licensing regime, which classifies the training track as "Experience/Apprenticeship".

Upfront cost is $150 on a 2-year cycle. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in Texas, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

Texas handles out-of-state credentials on a case-by-case basis instead of a standing reciprocity list.
