One trainer and two companies is a facts question
TDLR’s assignment rule has a stated majority-ownership exception. For two separately owned operators, establish the person’s actual licence, employment/assignment and ownership facts rather than assuming one master covers unlimited unrelated businesses.
First identify the contracting entity and electrical tasks. The general contractor route does not decide every sign, appliance, maintenance or other specialised category or exemption.
The relationship must keep working after the application
TDLR describes notification and replacement steps when the master leaves, as well as business-liability and worker-coverage documentation. Someone must own those changes before an assignment depends on the missing person.
The contractor/master record does not settle each worker’s qualification, a project’s local permits or inspection results. Budget the actual people, replacement cover and matching business insurance rather than assuming the overseas trainer supplies all three.
Scope
- Texas general contractor application scope only; no actual assignment exception, worker eligibility, policy sufficiency, local project or nationwide authority is determined.
Next step
Resolve the master’s actual relationship to each contracting company before promising the work.
