A master licence alone is not the company designation

RMP prerequisites include a current Texas master licence, good standing and the required insurance evidence. Overseas qualifications, brand training or a partnership chart do not establish the issued designation for this company.

The role includes general supervision/management, necessary permits and inspections, current worker licences/registrations and the specified direct supervision when registrants work. Both employees and subcontractors are included; an invoice from a subcontractor does not demonstrate those conditions.

Follow that responsibility into the actual job

Identify the worker category, lawful tasks and required supervisor before dispatch. The local code authority and work determine the actual permit and inspection requirements; RMP designation is not an inspection result.

Required coverage, business/licence identification, relevant vehicle information and changes also need the actual company’s record. Include supervision and job administration in the service cost rather than assuming the overseas owner will supply them after a problem.

Scope

  • Texas RMP scope only; no actual designation, exemption, worker eligibility, insurance sufficiency, renewal or project approval is established.

Next step

Establish the company’s RMP and lawful worker/supervisor arrangement before accepting the new plumbing calls.

The board describes the current Texas master/good-standing/insurance prerequisites, RMP designation, one-company role, licensed/registered personnel supervision and obtaining necessary permits/inspections. Subcontracting does not remove that stated supervisory workstream.
