Check that a PEO is licensed in Texas
Texas requires professional employer organizations to hold a license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Every firm below appears in TDLR's license file with an unexpired full or limited PEO license, and a phone number. Many are headquartered in other states.

Common questions
What is a PEO?
A professional employer organization enters a co-employment arrangement with a business: the PEO typically runs payroll, benefits administration and some HR compliance for your employees, while you keep day-to-day control of the work. See what a PEO does.
Does Texas license PEOs?
Yes. PEOs operating in Texas are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which issues full and limited PEO licenses. Each profile shows the license number and expiry date from TDLR's file.
Why are so many listed PEOs outside Texas?
A PEO can serve Texas employers while headquartered in another state, but it needs a Texas license to do so. We show the business address on the license.
Is a licensed PEO the same as an IRS-certified PEO?
No. The IRS runs a separate voluntary Certified Professional Employer Organization programme. A TDLR license and CPEO status are different things; see Texas PEO licensing and CPEO certification.
How do I switch PEOs?
Most changes line up with a payroll quarter or a benefits plan year. Our guide on switching PEOs lists the steps and the questions to ask.
My PEO's license looks expired here. What should I do?
Check the TDLR license search first, since our copy can lag. If TDLR shows a lapse, ask the PEO in writing. You can also use the corrections page if our listing is wrong.
