Texas Journeyman Plumber Exam exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The written portion of the Texas journeyman plumber examination is delivered by Pearson VUE for TSBPE, and you need 70 percent to pass it (candidate handbook revised August 2025). Candidates qualifying from apprentice also take a hands-on practical examination of six items. This portal's 100-question mock exam covers the written portion only, weighted like the official topic outline. You need 70 percent on the written portion. The practical, where it applies, is graded separately and this portal does not cover it. TSBPE sets the application and examination fees for the journeyman license; confirm the current amounts on the TSBPE website or in the Pearson VUE candidate handbook. The content outline spreads questions across 10 areas; the largest are Water Supply and Distribution (14.0%); Sanitary Drainage (14.0%); General Regulations and Materials (12.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. Eligibility (registration, training hours and experience) for the Texas journeyman plumber license is set by TSBPE; confirm your route in the current candidate handbook before you apply.
