What changed
HB 3344 would have had TDLR license reroofing contractors. Its last action was on May 8, 2025, when the committee report went to the House Calendars committee. It never passed, and the 2025 regular session is over. (source: Texas Legislature Online: HB 3344 (89R) history (opens in a new tab))
That means Texas still has no state roofing license and no state general contractor license. (source: Texas Legislature Online: HB 3344 (89R) history (opens in a new tab), source: Office of the Texas Governor: Texas Business Licenses and Permits Guide (opens in a new tab))
Before you hire a roofer, check whether your city has its own contractor registration (Austin does, for example) and ask for proof of insurance. (source: City of Austin contractor registration (opens in a new tab))
