Why the well count matters. Texas drillers file a report with the state for each well they drill. Those reports show who is working in your area and on which kind of well. A driller with dozens of domestic wells in your county knows the local aquifer, depths and district rules.

Where this data comes from

Every listing starts from public records — TDLR All Licenses file (data.texas.gov 7358-krk7), TWDB Submitted Driller's Reports database, TDLR license search — not from who paid to be listed. A TDLR license active badge means we matched the business to an active public record, dated. Read the methodology →

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 driller show no wells on this site?

The driller holds an active TDLR licence but filed no well reports in the last five years. Many licensees mainly install and repair pumps, which does not produce a well report. 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.
