Texas insurance complaint assistance
Choose your insurance type and follow TDI's instructions for getting help with a complaint involving an insurance company, agent, or adjuster.
TDLR license and enforcement search
Search individuals and businesses licensed by TDLR, and find its enforcement-action search. Match the license type and name to the work and provider you are considering.
The TDLR search covers the occupations it regulates; it is not a directory of every repair contractor. For other work, ask the relevant licensing or local permitting office which checks apply. Sources checked 2026-10-28.
