Find a licensed Texas water well driller with a real track record
Every driller and pump installer here holds an active TDLR license, and each profile shows which endorsements it covers (drilling, pumps or both). We also count the State Well Reports each one filed in the last five years — so you can see who actually drills household, irrigation and livestock wells in your county.

Common questions
Do I need a licensed driller to drill a water well in Texas?
Yes. TDLR states that a license is required to drill a water-related well in Texas and to install a pump for a water-related well. Confirm the licence number on the TDLR license search before you sign.
Do I need a permit to drill a well on my land?
It depends on where your land is. The state has no single well permit, but groundwater conservation districts can require permits or registration. A district must exempt certain domestic and livestock wells on tracts over 10 acres that cannot produce more than 25,000 gallons a day, though many districts still require registration. Call the district for your county.
What is a State Well Report?
A record of the well the driller must deliver within 60 days of finishing the work to TDLR, the owner and the groundwater conservation district, if any. It lists depth, casing and the water found. This site's track-record counts come from these reports as republished by the Texas Water Development Board.
Why does a listing show no wells on this site?
Either the license holder installs pumps only (the profile says "Pump installer license"; pump work does not produce a well report), or the driller filed no well reports in the last five years. It is a neutral fact, not a warning.
How often should I test my well water?
TCEQ and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension recommend at least once a year for bacteria and nitrate, and sooner after flooding, repairs or a change in taste, smell or colour.
What must I do about an old unused well?
An abandoned or deteriorated well must be plugged or capped within 180 days after the owner learns of its condition (Occupations Code 1901.255). A plugging report goes to TDLR within 30 days of plugging.
