Effective September 1, 2019, the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners will be abolished. The Sunset Advisory Commission had recommended that the regulatory functions of the Board be transferred to the Department of Licensing and Regulation, but the legislature adjourned without taking action. Plumbers are planning a rally at the State Capitol and calling for a special session to re-visit the issue. With a "ind-down" period of one year, the TSBPE has indicated the potential to create a database showing which plumbers were previously licensed.
