Massage establishments and therapists in Bexar County must hold a license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under Occupations Code Chapter 455. The county and Sheriff partner with TDLR on inspections, anti-trafficking checks, and zoning enforcement.
Texas Occupations Code Chapter 455 places licensing of massage therapists, instructors, schools, and establishments under the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Operators in unincorporated Bexar County must hold a current TDLR establishment license, post it conspicuously, and ensure every therapist holds an individual license. State rules require specific training hours, fingerprint-based background checks, and prohibit operation between midnight and 5 a.m. The Bexar County Sheriff supports TDLR inspections and human trafficking investigations under Penal Code 20A. County land-use rules and city zoning also apply. Operators must maintain client records and post anti-trafficking notices.
Operating without a TDLR license, employing unlicensed therapists, or violating overnight closure rules exposes operators to TDLR administrative penalties up to 5,000 dollars per violation, criminal charges under Chapter 455, and trafficking-related state prosecution.
