Exam Details

Texas electrician licensing is handled through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. A Texas Journeyman Electrician is licensed to perform electrical work under the general supervision of a Texas licensed Master Electrician. With limited exemptions, anyone who performs electrical work in Texas must hold the proper electrical license for the work being performed.

Texas electrician examinations are administered by PSI after TDLR approves the candidate’s eligibility. After the completed application has been reviewed and the required application fee has been received, the applicant is notified that they are approved to sit for the licensing examination. Candidates then schedule the examination through PSI.

Starting March 11, 2025, the Texas Journeyman Electrician written examination was changed to consist of two separate portions: an NEC Knowledge portion and a Calculations portion. Both portions are multiple choice, and candidates must pass each portion with a minimum score of 70%. Time remaining from one portion does not roll over into the next portion.

The Texas Journeyman Electrician NEC Knowledge portion includes 59 items, including 3 non-scored items, with 130 minutes allowed. The Calculations portion includes 26 items, including 2 non-scored items, with 110 minutes allowed. The examination fee is listed as $78 for both portions, and a retake examination fee applies if a candidate fails one portion or both portions.

The NEC Knowledge portion covers Definitions, Theory, and Plans; Electrical Services, Service Equipment, and Separately Derived Systems; Electrical Feeders; Branch Circuits and Conductors; Electrical Wiring Methods and Electrical Materials; Electrical Equipment and Devices; Motors and Generators; Electrical Control Devices and Disconnecting Means; Special Occupancies, Equipment, and Conditions; and Renewable Energy Technologies.

The Calculations portion covers Calculations and Theory; Electrical Services, Service Equipment, and Separately Derived Systems; Electrical Feeders; Branch Circuit Calculations and Conductors; Electrical Wiring Methods and Electrical Materials; Electrical Equipment and Devices; Motors and Generators; Electrical Control Devices and Disconnecting Means; Special Occupancies, Equipment, and Conditions; and Renewable Energy Technologies. Unless a question specifically notes otherwise, conductors are considered copper.

Open Book Test

The Texas Journeyman Electrician exam is an open-book examination. Candidates are allowed to reference the National Electrical Code, 2023 Edition. Candidates are responsible for bringing their own NEC book to the examination site, and electronic notepads are provided.

Texas has specific exam-room rules for reference materials. Any soft-bound edition of the 2023 National Electrical Code may be used for the examination. Loose-leaf, spiral-bound, and ring-bound copies of the NEC are not allowed in the examination room. The NEC book may be highlighted, underlined, and may contain notes before the examination session. NEC books may be tabbed with permanent index tabs manufactured or provided by the NEC book publisher.

Candidates may not write, highlight, underline, index, or mark their NEC book during the examination session. Homemade, DIY, and non-NEC tabs are not allowed. Additional paper, whether loose, taped, adhered, stapled, or otherwise added, is not allowed in the examination room. The NEC Handbook is not allowed in the examination room.

Open book does not mean easy. Candidates still need to understand electrical concepts, recognize how questions are written, locate code sections quickly, apply rules correctly, and manage time across both exam portions. A student who depends only on searching through the NEC for every answer may lose valuable time, especially when moving between knowledge-based questions and calculation-heavy questions.

Open-book preparation should include repeated NEC navigation practice. Students should use the table of contents, index, article structure, definitions, tables, exceptions, notes, and common article locations before test day. Practice exams and final exams help students learn how questions are worded, while flash cards help build recall of formulas, definitions, trade terms, and frequently tested concepts.

Licensing Steps

Texas journeyman electrician licensing begins with supervised electrical work experience. To apply for a Texas Journeyman Electrician license, an applicant must have completed at least 7,000 hours of on-the-job training under the supervision of a Master Electrician licensed in Texas. Submitting at least 7,000 hours allows the applicant to take the examination before reaching the full 8,000 hours required for licensure.

The applicant must obtain verification from each Master Electrician who supervised the qualifying work. Experience must be documented and signed by each supervisor on the required Experience Verification Form. TDLR may contact individuals to verify the experience submitted with the application.

A typical Texas journeyman path includes registering and working in the electrical trade, gaining supervised on-the-job training under a Texas licensed Master Electrician, documenting qualifying hours, submitting the journeyman electrician license application, paying the required application fee, receiving examination approval, scheduling the PSI exam, passing both portions of the exam, reaching the full 8,000 hours required for licensure, and completing the remaining licensing steps through TDLR.

Applicants must apply by mail for the initial journeyman electrician license application. The Texas Journeyman Electrician license application is submitted with the non-refundable application fee to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Electrician licenses are valid for one year from the date of issuance and must be renewed annually.

This study guide and flash card combo supports the exam-preparation stage of the licensing process. Students can use it while completing supervised on-the-job training, while gathering experience verification, before submitting the application, after receiving examination approval, or during final review before the scheduled PSI exam.

State Requirements

Texas has statewide electrical licensing through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Texas licenses electrical workers by classification, including apprentice electricians, journeyman electricians, master electricians, residential wiremen, maintenance electricians, journeyman industrial electricians, journeyman linemen, and sign electricians. This product is focused on the Texas Journeyman Electrician license.

Electrical work in Texas is defined broadly and includes labor or material used in installing, maintaining, or extending an electrical wiring system and the appurtenances, apparatus, or equipment used in connection with electrical energy in, on, outside, or attached to a building, residence, structure, property, or premises. It also includes service entrance conductors as defined by the National Electrical Code.

For the Texas Journeyman Electrician path, candidates must document supervised on-the-job training under a Texas licensed Master Electrician. At least 7,000 hours are required to apply and become eligible to test, while 8,000 hours are required for licensure. Candidates should maintain accurate records of employers, supervising Master Electricians, dates of work, hours completed, work performed, application materials, exam eligibility notices, and licensing documents.

Texas candidates should also prepare with the 2023 National Electrical Code because Texas electrician examinations are referenced to the 2023 NEC. Students should make sure their study routine, practice questions, code book, permanent NEC publisher tabs, and reference navigation are aligned with the current Texas exam requirements.

This combo is an exam-prep product and does not replace the Texas application process, TDLR qualification review, experience verification, PSI scheduling, exam-room rules, license issuance, renewal requirements, or supervision requirements. It is designed to help students prepare for the electrical knowledge and calculation portions of the journeyman licensing examination through organized study, practice exams, final exams, and flash card review.

Reference Books

Test Information and Study Materials

The 2026 Texas Journeyman Electrician Exam Prep and Study Guide + Flash Card Combo is designed to help students prepare with structure. Instead of relying on one study method, this package combines a study guide, 12 practice exams, 2 full final exams, and flash cards for repeated review.

Study guide review helps students organize the exam content into major subject areas. Texas journeyman candidates should prepare for NEC structure, definitions, electrical theory, plan reading, services, service equipment, separately derived systems, feeders, branch circuits, conductors, wiring methods, electrical materials, equipment, motors, generators, control devices, disconnecting means, special occupancies, renewable energy technologies, calculations, and exam-room reference rules.

Practice exams help students become more comfortable with exam-style questions. The 12 practice exams in this combo give students repeated exposure to electrical topics and help identify weak areas. Missed questions should be reviewed carefully because each mistake can point to a knowledge gap, a calculation issue, a code-navigation problem, or a misunderstanding of the question wording.

Full final exams help students practice longer review sessions. The 2 full final exams can be used after completing topic review and several practice exams. Students should take these final exams in a focused setting, track time, review missed answers, and return to weaker topics before test day.

Flash cards support active recall. Journeyman electrician flash cards help students review definitions, calculations, electrical theory, wiring methods, conductors, materials, equipment, services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, motors, generators, control devices, special occupancies, renewable energy technologies, safety concepts, and code terminology in a faster format.

NEC Knowledge preparation should focus on fast code recognition and accurate article navigation. Students should practice locating definitions, service requirements, feeder rules, branch-circuit requirements, conductor rules, wiring method articles, equipment rules, motor provisions, special occupancy requirements, emergency system rules, photovoltaic provisions, and electric vehicle charger topics.

Calculations preparation should receive separate attention because the Texas exam has a separate Calculations portion. Students should review electrical theory calculations, load calculations, service calculations, feeder calculations, branch-circuit calculations, conductor sizing, grounding and bonding calculations, raceway and box calculations, motor calculations, transformer concepts, and overcurrent protection relationships.

Services, feeders, and branch circuits are major areas of Texas journeyman study. Students should understand how each system is defined, how conductors are selected, how overcurrent protection applies, how grounding and bonding rules affect installation decisions, and how load calculations support safe electrical design.

Wiring methods and electrical materials should receive steady review because these topics appear prominently on the NEC Knowledge portion. Students should study raceways, cable trays, boxes, enclosures, cabinets, panels, cables, cords, underground wiring, conductor protection, and installation methods.

Special occupancies, equipment, conditions, and renewable energy technologies should also be part of the study routine. Swimming pools, fountains, RVs, mobile homes, park trailers, marinas, data processing equipment, communications equipment, emergency systems, photovoltaic systems, and electric vehicle chargers may appear in the Texas content outline and should not be ignored.
