Who is responsible for enforcing the Texas Cosmetology laws?

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is the agency specifically designated to enforce the Texas Cosmetology laws. TDLR oversees the licensing and regulation of various professions and businesses within the state, including those in the cosmetology industry. This responsibility includes ensuring compliance with legal and safety standards, conducting inspections, and addressing violations of the law.

The TDLR's role is crucial as they set the regulations that govern how cosmetology services are provided and ensure that practitioners maintain the necessary qualifications and adhere to the state's health and safety regulations. By centralizing these responsibilities under TDLR, the state ensures a consistent application of the law across Texas.
