FAQ

For general contract work in San Antonio, you'll need to register with Development Services to obtain an initial license or renew an existing one before obtaining any permits. Different types of work can require different registration application forms and license fees.

The state does not require folks in these lines of work to carry a license issued by the State. However, you might have some additional paperwork to sort through depending on where you're working — and certain Texas cities require specific licenses and registration to work in depending on your trade and other factors.

The court could order your contractor to finish or correct the work or compensate you for your losses. Otherwise, you could file a claim against your contractor's insurance. However, a contractor's general liability insurance likely won't cover faulty work claims unless someone is injured from the unfulfilled contract.

You can file suit against the contractor. Since he is not responding to you, you can file suit for negligence and breach of contract (if you had a written contract with the contractor). You can file suit in a small claims action in Texas Justice Court—the court that handles small claims matters in Texas.

Most states put a financial limit on what you can do without a contractor's license – usually limiting jobs to $500, $1,000, or even $3,000. However, in Texas, that isn't the case. There are currently no limits on job size for unlicensed contractors.

How can you hold contractors accountable for their performance and deliverables in construction projects? Define clear expectations. Communicate regularly. Implement performance indicators. Conduct audits and inspections. Enforce penalties and incentives. Review and improve. Here's what else to consider.

If you can't resolve it with the contractor, consider getting outside help from: your local consumer protection office or filing a complaint with the Attorney General of Texas. your local home builders association.

Texas does not require general contractors to be licensed or bonded, but they are required to be a state-registered business. Check with your local building department or consumer protection agency to find out about additional licensing requirements in your area.
