1). Go to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. You can get to them by going to www.texasonline.com. On the main page, click on "Licenses" then scroll down and select "Air Conditioning and Refrigeration." Then click on "Register."
2). Register for a permit. Everyone working in HVAC must register as of June of 2008. You will need to provide the information on the page and pay your fee. It really is that simple.
3). Get certification. Once you have registered, you can take a test for certification. The Texas online website gives a list of tests that can be taken to fulfill this requirement.
4). Become a Licensed contractor. With a minimum of 36 months of experience within the last 5 years, you can take a test to be a licensed contractor.
