Where these listings come from

Every listing is a water well driller license issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), shown as it appears in the license record. We haven't independently verified any listing. Confirm a license is current with the TDLR license search before you hire.

Company identity and licensee affiliations are recorded separately, with supporting source evidence. 2 company identities have supporting evidence; that does not establish insurance, availability or participation in quote requests. A shared business phone does not establish a company relationship or ownership.

The county on each listing is where the driller's business address is registered. It isn't a service area: ask each driller whether they work at your property.

    How do you check a Texas well driller before hiring?

    1. Confirm the license. Search the name or license number in the TDLR license search and check the endorsements cover your job.
    2. Look at wells they've drilled nearby. Texas well reports name the driller of each well; see how to find water well logs in Texas.
    3. Get two or three written, itemized quotes. Use the well drilling quote checklist and the questions to ask a well driller.

    Common questions

    How do I check a Texas water well driller's license?

    Search the driller's name or license number in the TDLR license search. The records on this site come from TDLR data retrieved October 10, 2026; a license can change after that date, so confirm it before you hire.

    Does a driller listed in my county serve my property?

    Not necessarily. The county shown is where the driller's business address is registered with TDLR. Drillers often work across several counties, and some don't travel far. Ask each driller whether they work at your location.

    What do the license endorsements mean?

    Texas licenses water well drillers and pump installers by endorsement. A water well endorsement covers drilling water wells; other endorsements cover monitor, closed-loop geothermal, dewatering and injection wells, and single-phase, three-phase, turbine or windmill pump work.

    Are these drillers recommended by The Well Drilling Guide?

    No. Listings are built from public state license records and aren't paid placements, ratings or endorsements. Compare written quotes and check references before you hire.

    Licensees without a Texas business address on record

    These 321 licensees have no Texas county in the license record, either because no business address is listed or because the address is outside Texas.
