      Well, remember electricity burns homes down. NEC (National Electric Code) basically comes from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association).

            I wired my entire Tuff Shed cabin. 5 years later, when I drive up to it, still surprises me that it hasn’t burned down.

              Rough it then come back with a licensed journeyman to tie it in and pay him a good hourly wage cash
              That's what I did and it's all legal and inspected by city

                What about replacing a plug, switch, light fixture, ceiling fan?

                      You cannot legally do electrical work in the State of Texas without proper licensing. It does not matter if you are in the city, county, or anywhere else. Yes, plenty of people get away with it. Alot of them keep the electricians busy...

                        +1, but it is very standard for small timers who flip homes to upgrade all fixtures and do granite, quick remodel, then sell...wouldn't be a bad side gig to cater to outside city limits. I do commercial Christmas lighting and landscape lighting, and I have an electrician who puts in the gfi plugs for me, and then I'm ready to run!

                          Some of ya'll need to read what TDLR has on their website. No work anywhere in the state of Texas except for some exemptions.

                            Exactly. And like you said, there are a few exemptions. One is that you can work on your own home. I think that may be confusing some people.

                              Sad part is that a good percentage of master electricians have grandfathered licenses and aren't worth a damm.

                                I would hire you but I would not ask you to do any electrical work for me.
