8,721 Texas pest-control licenses
Texas Department of Agriculture, Structural Pest Control Service publishes Texas's pest-control license registry as open data — 31,729 entries, fetched here on 2026-09-18: structural pest control only: commercial and noncommercial businesses, certified applicators, technicians and apprentice registrations, with license and (for businesses) insurance expiration dates.. That is far too many rows to publish in one place, so this page carries an alphabetical slice: the first 400 entries per letter of the entry name, 8,721 in all, tabled in full on the letter pages below — each with its license number, license type, category, expiration date and (where published) the county of operation, exactly as the state publishes them.
Status — computed from the expiration date
Texas Department of Agriculture, Structural Pest Control Service's file has no status column, so status is computed from the expiration date against the fetched-on date (2026-09-18): a license whose expiration date was still ahead counts as active. Counted over all 31,729 entries of the file — not from the slice. 30,066 of 31,729 were active on that date.
| Status (computed) | Licenses |
|---|---|
| active | 30,066 |
| expired | 1,663 |
| Total | 31,729 |
License type — the full file
Counted across all 31,729 entries of the file. The type wording is Texas's own — the same trade carries different labels in different states, so read these against the state's own categories rather than a national template.

The slice, by letter of the entry name
Every letter page tables its slice in full (the first 400 entries of that letter in name order). People and businesses are bucketed together by the first letter of the name.
What the columns mean
License type is the registry's own wording, kept verbatim; category is the registry's certification or license category (the registry's own category codes). Status is computed from the expiration date — the registry publishes no status column, so a row reads "active" when its expiration date was still ahead on the fetched-on date (2026-09-18). Expiration dates are normalized to ISO format; nothing else is changed. The source file also publishes columns these pages do not render (responsible-applicator names, operator and insurance dates); they are kept in the dataset behind this page.
