Scope: which credential this guide covers

Use this checklist when reviewing a plumber for work in Texas. It addresses the Journeyman Plumber License; it is not a complete inventory of every credential that a particular role or assignment may require.
Record the Responsible Master Plumber relationship
For each crew, retain a clear reference to the Responsible Master Plumber and the journeyman’s individual record. When a plumbing employee changes projects, check whether the planned duties involve a specialty endorsement. Keeping these items separate makes a crew review more informative than a folder of undifferentiated plumbing cards.
Review apprentices and specialty assignments together
Include the supervision arrangement when reviewing a journeyman who will oversee trainees. Ask the project lead to flag medical-gas or other specialist work before scheduling it. QualiRoster can retain credential documents and expiration dates, while the designated reviewer resolves scope and supervision questions with TSBPE.
Evidence to retain for the reviewer
- The exact credential category, jurisdiction and authority record checked.
- Current status and the expiration or registration period shown by the authority.
- The supporting document, verification date and accountable review owner.
- Any unresolved scope or assignment question, with a follow-up date.
These are recommended employer records, not a claim that the authority mandates this particular software or checklist.
