What is the TCEQ?
The TCEQ is the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the state agency that regulates water and wastewater in Texas and licenses their operators. It sets the license grades, approves the training courses, publishes the exam scope, and issues the license after you pass. It is the official source for every requirement.

What the TCEQ does for operators
It defines the license classes, approves the courses you take, publishes the Need-to-Know that the exams are built from, reviews applications, and issues the license. Every official requirement for your exam traces back to the TCEQ.
