Texas barber license requirements, without the fog

Before a student compares price, they need to understand the state path. DTX keeps the public version simple: 1,000 hours, written and practical exams, state paperwork, and every number in writing before you sign.

What to know

Age

Plan around 17 or older

Hours

The full program is 1,000 hours

DTX is built around the Texas Class A Barber school path. The school is licensed by TDLR and enrolling now, and every number is in writing before you sign.

Ask before investing

Criminal history, lawful presence, ID, student permits and state application steps should be discussed before a student spends serious time or money.

Official sources checked
