What does a Texas roofer license lookup show?

Texas does not have a statewide roofer license lookup because the state doesn't license roofers at the state level. Texas does not license roofers at the state level. The voluntary Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) certification exists but is not required by law.

What this means for verification: there's no central database to query for "is this roofer licensed in Texas." Instead, Texas verification leans on four sources.

Source 1 — Local jurisdiction. Cities like Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio often have local building-department registration. Check the city's website.

Source 2 — Secretary of State. Texas Secretary of State (https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/) shows whether the roofer's business is a registered legal entity in good standing. Dissolved or administratively revoked = red flag.

Source 3 — Court records. Civil court judgments, UCC liens, and mechanics' liens are public record in every Texas county. A roofer with multiple unsatisfied judgments is a hard stop.

Source 4 — OSHA and BBB. Federal OSHA inspection history is public, and BBB complaints are searchable. These are the strongest substitute trust signals when there's no state license to anchor verification.

Groundcheck (earthmove.io/trust) pulls all four sources into one sourced report under 90 seconds. The contractor is never notified.
