License: LAND SURVEYOR

Using elevations, lines, points, and contours, land surveyors apply special knowledge of the principles of mathematics and physical sciences to establish land, boundary, or property measurements and location. Land surveyors prepare maps and legal descriptions for documents such as deeds and leases. They are legally responsible for the accuracy of their work. Individuals in Texas pursuing a career in land surveying need certification as a surveyor-in-training, registration as a professional land surveyor, or licensure as a state surveyor. Registration as a professional land surveyor qualifies an individual for licensure as a state surveyor.
