Licensing, as of Nov 4, 2026
Texas fire sprinkler and fire alarm licenses
Texas licenses fire protection work through the State Fire Marshal's Office (SFMO) at the Texas Department of Insurance. Companies register; the people doing the work hold individual licenses.
Sprinkler licenses
The Responsible Managing Employee – General (RME-G) license covers planning, installing, maintaining, servicing and certifying every type of sprinkler system. It calls for the NICET Water-Based Systems Layout Level III exams (waived for a current Professional Engineer) plus the state Fire Sprinkler Statutes and Rules test. [1]
The RME – General Inspector (RME-I) is the inspection-side license. TDI ties it to NICET's Inspection and Testing of Water-Based Systems Level II exam plus the statutes and rules test. [1]
There are also dwelling (RME-D, built on the NICET Layout Level II test) and underground licenses. [1]
TDI won't issue an individual license until you're employed by a registered sprinkler company, and it requires a fingerprint background check on file. [1]
