Your four Texas hours, reported to TDLR for you.

Exactly what Texas requires each year — the code, the law, and safety — in the order that makes sense on the job.

1. 1 hourTexas Electrician Law and Rules. Who must be licensed, your duties as a license holder, how continuing education is reported and audited, the electrical code Texas adopted on September 1, 2026 (16 TAC §73.100), and how enforcement actually works.
2. 2 hoursThe National Electrical Code — what changed in NEC 2026. Texas adopted the 2026 edition of the National Electrical Code effective September 1, 2026. Two hours on what changed from the 2023 edition, taught where you use it: Articles 90, 100 and 110, branch circuits and GFCI/AFCI protection (with the Texas amendment to 210.8(F)), load calculations in the renumbered Article 120, grounding and bonding, wiring methods and conductors, and devices, panelboards and luminaires.
3. 1 hourElectrical Safety in the Workplace. NFPA 70E-2024: the electrical safety program, establishing an electrically safe work condition, and arc-flash risk assessment with the right protective equipment.

The four hours Texas asks for each year, taught on the 2026 National Electrical Code that Texas adopted on September 1, 2026: what changed from the 2023 edition, the Texas amendment to 210.8(F), Texas law and rules, and NFPA 70E safety — taught to make you sharper with the code book, not just current on paper.

2026 edition + TDLR rules

• Approved by the state. Trade Code Solutions is a registered continuing-education provider with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) — provider registration 2549 — and this course holds TDLR course approval number 33453. The four hours count.
• We handle the paperwork. TCS reports your completion to TDLR for you — TDLR's rule gives providers 7 days to report — and your certificate of completion is issued as soon as you finish.
• Built by a Texas master electrician's company. Instruction checked line-by-line against the published standards — the 2026 National Electrical Code, the Texas Occupations Code, and NFPA 70E-2024.

Every Texas electrician license that renews on continuing education — one course covers you, whichever you hold:

• Master and Journeyman Electricians.
• Journeyman Industrial Electricians and Journeyman Linemen.
• Residential Wiremen and Maintenance Electricians.
• Master and Journeyman Sign Electricians.
• Apprentices who renew on continuing education rather than a registered apprenticeship program.

Hold more than one Texas license? Texas asks for a single four hours per year no matter how many you hold — this one course covers them all.

Is this course approved by TDLR?

Yes. Trade Code Solutions is a registered continuing-education provider with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation — TDLR — under provider registration 2549, and this course holds TDLR course approval number 33453. The four hours count toward your annual renewal.

Which edition of the National Electrical Code does this course teach?

The 2026 edition. Texas adopted the 2026 edition of the National Electrical Code effective September 1, 2026, and this course teaches it as what changed from the 2023 edition — including the Texas amendment that keeps 210.8(F) Exception No. 2 in force.

Is there an exam at the end?

No. Texas measures this course in instruction time, not a test. Watch all four hours in order, confirm your identity at the checkpoints, and you're done.

How do my hours get reported to TDLR?

TCS reports your completion to TDLR for you — TDLR's rule gives providers 7 days to report, so there is nothing for you to file. You can confirm your hours on TDLR's Continuing Education Courses Look Up, and Texas asks licensees to keep the certificate of completion for one year.

Which Texas electrician licenses does this course cover?

Every Texas electrician license that renews on continuing education: master and journeyman electricians, journeyman industrial electricians and journeyman linemen, residential wiremen and maintenance electricians, master and journeyman sign electricians, and apprentices who renew on continuing education. Texas asks for a single four hours per year no matter how many licenses you hold — one course covers them all.

What subjects are in the four hours?

One hour of Texas electrician law and rules, two hours of the National Electrical Code (the 2026 edition, taught as what changed from the 2023 edition), and one hour of electrical safety in the workplace based on NFPA 70E-2024.

Is this course available in Spanish?

Yes. The same four hours are approved by TDLR as a separate Spanish-language course (TDLR course 33541), narrated and shown in Spanish with every Code quotation kept in English exactly as printed. Buy it at /courses/tx-ceu-4hr-2026-es. If you buy this English course, you can also switch to the Spanish slides at any point inside the player without losing your place; your completion is still reported under course 33453.

I already took the TCS 2023-edition Texas course. Do I need this one too?

No. Your hours from that course (TDLR course 32907) count for the year you completed it, and the course and your certificate stay in your TCS account. Texas asks for four hours each year, so when your next renewal comes around, this course puts those hours on the 2026 edition Texas adopted.
