Texas water well CE is one of the longer continuing education requirements in the TDLR program — 8 hours, including a required 1-hour Texas water well law component. The good news: it is now fully available online with same-day TDLR reporting. Whether you hold a Texas Driller license, Pump Installer license, or both, the same 8-hour course satisfies your annual CE.
What Texas Water Well CE Covers
TDLR requires Texas water well drillers and pump installers to complete 8 hours of CE each year. Our course (TDLR Course #31976) covers the full requirement, including:
- 1 hour of Texas water well law (statutorily required)
- Groundwater conservation district rules and regional variations
- Casing, sealing, and plugging best practices
- Pump installation standards and TCEQ guidance
- Sanitary well construction and contamination prevention
- Reporting requirements and TDLR documentation
Why Take Texas Water Well CE Online?
Drilling and pump work is a job-site profession — there are not many days you can afford to lose to a classroom session. Online CE solves that:
- Self-paced — start, pause, and resume around your schedule
- No travel — complete it from the truck on a slow day if you need to
- Instant certificate — emailed at completion
- Same-day TDLR reporting — you can renew immediately after
The Required 1-Hour Water Well Law Component
Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1901 (Drillers) and Chapter 1902 (Pump Installers) require that 1 hour of your annual CE be devoted specifically to Texas water well law. Our course includes this hour, taught with current statute references. You do not need to take a separate course.
Pump Installer vs. Driller — Same Course?
Yes. The 8-hour CE course satisfies both the Texas Driller and Texas Pump Installer requirements. If you hold both licenses (many do), one completion covers both — you do not need to take CE twice.
Same-Day TDLR Reporting
We are TDLR Provider #2437. The moment you finish the course, our system pushes your CE completion to TDLR the same day. You can log into TDLR MyLicense Office and submit your renewal that evening or the next morning without waiting for a paperwork lag.
