How Texas Barber license verification works
A Barber in Texas is licensed by the TX Cosmetology / Barber Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.
Fields returned for this board: license_number license_type type_code status expires issued county expiration_marker.
Board note: TX-TDLR, rung 1: Barbering & Cosmetology program COSMOS (subtype &2= OP operator, BA Class A barber, FA esthetician, MA manicurist, ME/HE combos, IN/FI/MI instructors). The old BARBER program answers no records (barbers merged into COSMOS). Status is 'License Status: Active' or an 'Inactive!'/'Expired!' marker on the expiration line. Live 2026-11-03.
