Trust Hub Network
Research Texas Providers & Regulatory Records
Explore official evidence across contractors, insurance, mortgage lenders, movers, investment advisers, and senior care. AskTrustHub is the discovery and routing layer. Specialist hubs own the Texas evidence. No paid placements. No Trust Score. No blanket “verified providers” statement.
Liberal inclusion, conservative attribution, transparent coverage: missing evidence blocks that metric, not the whole state. Unavailable evidence is unknown, not zero. Texas research is state-level. This page does not publish Texas city or county gateways.
Texas does not use one uniform regulatory system across the Trust Hub Network. Contractor licensing is split by specialty and local jurisdiction; insurance has a strong state agency/company graph; mortgage research combines HMDA with state enforcement; movers require separate state and federal authority checks; investment-adviser research separates federal SEC/IARD geography from Texas state registration; and senior care spans both CMS certification and Texas HHSC licensing.
All six specialist Texas research pages are published.
What official Texas evidence the network covers
These figures are specialist-owned and not comparable. They are not a ranking, a Trust Score, or one Texas-provider denominator.
38,915 TDLR business identities
distinct TDLR business identities. Not a general-contractor count. Vendor is not a license.
43,597 distinct agency NPN identities
agency NPN identities from TDI. Not person licenses. Appointment count is not quality.
954,534 HMDA applications
HMDA 2025 applications for Texas property location. Not a license roster.
UNKNOWN / search-only
complete Texas household-goods mover denominator. TxDMV bulk roster SOURCE_NOT_ACQUIRED. Missing is not zero.
1,302 SEC/IARD Texas principal-office firms
federal roster firms with a Texas principal office. Not Texas state-RIA registration.
CMS and HHSC kept separate
Nursing Homes, Home Health, Hospice, Assisted Living, and HCSSA are different classes. Do not sum them.
Specialist Texas research
Contractor Trust Hub
Research Texas contractor and trade credentials
- TDLR specialty-trade business credentials
- TSBPE Responsible Master Plumber
- CMBL vendor/procurement evidence
- no statewide general-contractor license
Vendor is not a license. TxDOT project is not contractor identity. Do not add TDLR, TSBPE, and CMBL into one “Texas contractors” number. Acquired identities are not the complete contractor universe.
Insurance Trust Hub
Research Texas insurance agencies, appointments and companies
- TDI agency/business licenses
- agency appointments to NAIC companies
- TDI complaints and complaint index
- rate filings
Appointment count is not quality. A complaint is not a violation. The TDI complaint index is not a TrustHub score. Person directories stay unpublished.
Lender Trust Hub
Research Texas mortgage activity and regulatory orders
- HMDA 2025 Texas mortgage activity
- SML enforcement orders with exact NMLS
- TDHCA/TSAHC homebuyer programs
- CFPB Texas mortgage complaints
HMDA is not a license roster. An NMLS ID is not current Texas authority by itself. Name-only SML orders are unsafe for adverse profile attach. Denial rate is not quality.
Move Trust Hub
Verify Texas moving authority
- TxDMV household-goods authority
- Form E liability and Form H&I cargo filings
- FMCSA interstate operating authority
- tow company versus household-goods mover
A USDOT number alone is not interstate operating authority. TxDMV authority is not FMCSA authority. A tow company is not a household-goods mover. Complete Texas mover denominator is UNKNOWN, not zero.
Investor Trust Hub
Research Texas investment-adviser and securities records
- SEC/IARD Texas principal-office overlay
- Texas State Securities Board verification
- RIA versus ERA versus broker-dealer
- SSB enforcement index
A Texas principal office is not Texas state-RIA registration. ERA is not an RIA. Broker-dealer is not an investment adviser. CRD is not current Texas authority. No SSB/CRD/BrokerCheck scrape.
SeniorTrustHub
Research Texas senior-care providers
- CMS Nursing Homes, Home Health, and Hospice
- HHSC Nursing Facility, Assisted Living, and HCSSA
- ALF Type A/B/C
- TULIP verification
HHSC is not CMS. ALF is not SNF. HCSSA is not CMS Home Health. Personal Assistance is not Home Health. Hospice is not Home Health. HCSSA service labels overlap and must not be summed. Complete Texas LTC universe is UNKNOWN.
What makes Texas different
- Texas has no statewide general-contractor license. Specialty trades, plumbing, vendor/procurement, and later local evidence stay separate.
- TDI exposes an unusually complete agency-to-company appointment graph. Appointment count is not quality. A complaint is not a violation.
- Texas mortgage activity is visible through 2025 HMDA even though a live statewide mortgage-company bulk roster is not acquired.
- Household-goods movers require separate Texas intrastate and federal interstate authority checks. A USDOT number is not interstate operating authority by itself.
- Federal SEC/IARD geography is not Texas state-RIA registration. ERA is not an RIA. Broker-dealer is not an investment adviser.
- Senior care requires both CMS certification and Texas HHSC licensing, plus TULIP search for some classes. HHSC is not CMS.

Texas evidence catalog
Ask consumes specialist snapshot facts. It does not invent Ask-owned Texas denominators.
| Evidence | Hub | Grain | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contractor TDLR/TSBPE | contractor | business identity / plumbing credential / vendor row | No statewide general-contractor license. Vendor ≠ license. |
| Insurance TDI | insurance | agency license / appointment / complaint observation | Appointment count ≠ quality. Complaint ≠ violation. |
| Lender HMDA/SML | lender | application / enforcement order / program | HMDA ≠ license roster. Name-only orders unsafe. |
| Move TxDMV/FMCSA | move | authority / filing requirement | USDOT number ≠ interstate operating authority. TxDMV ≠ FMCSA. |
| Investor SEC/IARD/SSB | investor | federal roster firm / state search | TX principal office ≠ Texas state registration. |
| Senior CMS/HHSC | senior | provider class / license class | HHSC ≠ CMS. Do not sum overlapping HCSSA labels. |
Cross-hub Texas situations
Ask can point to more than one specialist. It does not publish a composite score, Trust Score, or ranked “best providers” list.
- Buying a Texas house: mortgage activity on Lender Trust Hub, then contractor and trade credentials on Contractor Trust Hub. These are separate evidence universes — not a composite score.
- Helping an elderly parent move: household-goods verification on Move Trust Hub and senior-care research on SeniorTrustHub. A mover authority is not a care placement.
- Checking a Texas insurance agency: Insurance Trust Hub for TDI appointments and complaints. Appointment count is not quality, and a complaint is not a violation.
- A contractor working in an assisted-living building: Contractor Trust Hub for TDLR/TSBPE credentials and SeniorTrustHub for the facility class. A trade license is not an ALF license.
What the network still does not know
Different hubs have different official source coverage. Missing evidence is unknown, not zero. Texas cities and counties are deferred; this gateway has no county routes.
- complete Texas general-contractor universe
- complete state household-goods mover denominator
