How do I add my phone and website to my Texas electrician or A/C license page?

By James Brazil · November 14, 2026

Find your license on the contractor check, scroll to the box that starts "Is this your license?" and apply to the Swift Agent Network with your state license number. The basic listing is free and adds the member mark and a link to your website, or none. Full membership adds your photo or logo, phone, short bio and a Contact me form. We match the license to the state's file before you pay, and the state's record itself never changes.

A homeowner is about to let someone rewire a panel or replace an A/C unit. Plenty of them check the license first. They type a name or a license number into a lookup, see whether it is on file, and then they want to call someone. The state's file doesn't give them a number to call, and that is the gap this article is about.

What does a homeowner see when they look up my Texas license?

Texas publishes its electrical and air conditioning licenses through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), which posts daily license files. Plumbers are licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE), which posts its free licensee lists. Our Texas contractor check reads those files and turns each license into a plain page.

The page shows the license number, the type, the class, when it expires and the county. It does not print a phone number, a street address, a ZIP code or an email, even if the file has one. Apprentices are left out.

What the homeowner wants next	On the state file alone?
Proof the license is on file	Yes
The license type and expiration date	Yes
A phone number you want customers to use	No
Your website	No
A photo or logo, so they know it is the right company	No
A way to send you a note	No

One wording detail matters. TDLR's files have no status column, so a TDLR license on our page is "listed in TDLR's file" with its expiration date, not "active". If a license leaves the file, the page says it is no longer in the file, and says that is not a finding about the person. TSBPE's plumbing files do carry a status, and the page shows it as written.

How do I add my details to my license page?

1. Find your page. On the contractor check, choose Texas and search your name, your business name or your license number. Texas numbers look like EC17000 for an electrical contractor.
2. Find the box that starts "Is this your license? Make this page yours." It offers two choices side by side.
3. Pick one. "Join free" gives you the member mark on the page, a link to your website (or none) and your own member page. "Apply for full membership" adds your photo or logo, your phone, a link to your website, a short bio and a Contact me form that emails you. Full is $29 a month or $290 a year.
4. Send the form. The link carries your trade, name and license number into the application on swiftagentnetwork.com, so you don't retype them. Nothing is charged to apply.
5. Wait for the match. We reply within two business days after matching your license to the state's file. You see what your listing would show, and the price, before anything goes live. For full membership you pay after that check.

If you hold more than one license, such as an electrical contractor license and a master electrician license, each one has its own page, so use the number on the page you want to carry your details.

What does the Contact me form do?

It is a short form on your license page. A homeowner writes a note and it goes to the email you chose, and to nobody else. It is not a request for quotes sent to several contractors. You answer from your own inbox, the way you answer any call or message. The network doesn't promise a reply or a job, and it doesn't promise how many people will use the form.

What is the page not?

• Not a review. There are no stars. The page says a license on file is not a recommendation and says nothing about complaints, permits, insurance or the quality of the work.
• Not a change to your state record. The state's file is the proof, and the page doesn't edit it. What you add is labeled as added by you.
• Not a lead promise. Nobody can honestly say how many calls a listing brings.
• Not permanent unless you want it. Every license page has a "Remove this page" link. It takes the page off our site and out of our sitemap. It doesn't touch the state's own lookup.

What about Colorado, and other states?

Colorado license pages are live too. They come from the Department of Regulatory Agencies' licenses dataset on data.colorado.gov, read live, and they show public disciplinary action when the file records it. For a license in any other state, the application puts you on a waitlist rather than a page, because there is no page to put your details on yet.

Contractors don't get a state hub listing at this point. Hubs cover real estate, insurance and movers, so what you get is the license page, a member page in the directory and a badge you can paste on your own site. The badge states one dated check, and with no passing check it says only "Member since" and the date.

Do I need a website?

No. If you have one, your page links to it. If you don't, the license page is where people land, and the Contact me form lets them reach you from it. You can join the Swift Agent Network free, with your website or none, and add your photo, phone and form later.
