URGENTE! Texas exigirá prueba de estatus legal para licencias de trabajo: Mira si tu oficio está en la lista
DALLAS.- Si trabajas como electricista, barbero, cosmetóloga o en otros oficios regulados, esta noticia cambia las reglas del juego.
A partir del 1 de mayo de 2026, Texas implementará una nueva norma que obliga a demostrar la presencia legal en Estados Unidos para obtener o renovar licencias profesionales.
La medida fue aprobada por unanimidad por la Comisión de Licencias y Regulación de Texas (TDLR) y busca alinear las leyes estatales con las federales, considerando estas licencias como un “beneficio público”.
¿Qué licencias profesionales en Texas exigirán estatus legal?
La nueva regla impacta a decenas de profesiones reguladas por el TDLR. Si te dedicas a alguna de estas actividades, deberás presentar pruebas migratorias:
- Construcción y Servicios: Electricistas, técnicos de aire acondicionado (HVAC) y plomeros.
- Cuidado Personal: Cosmetólogos, esteticistas y barberos.
- Transporte y Seguridad: Operadores de grúas.
- Salud y Bienestar: Masajistas.
- Otros: Criadores de perros y oficios relacionados con animales.
Importante: La medida afecta especialmente a quienes actualmente tienen licencias que no están vinculadas a un Número de Seguro Social (SSN).
Requisitos de presencia legal: ¿Qué documentos acepta el TDLR?
No es necesario ser ciudadano estadounidense para seguir trabajando, pero sí debes demostrar que tu estancia es legal. Los documentos permitidos incluyen:
- Pasaporte de EE. UU. o licencia de conducir REAL ID.
- Tarjeta de Residencia Permanente (Green Card).
- Visas vigentes o documentos de autorización de empleo.
- Pruebas de estatus para asilados, refugiados o beneficiarios de TPS con documentación válida.
LULAC advierte sobre riesgos para la comunidad latina, entérate
La League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) ya ha levantado la voz de alarma. La organización advierte que esta disposición podría:
- Empujar a miles de trabajadores calificados hacia la economía informal.
- Generar una escasez de mano de obra en sectores críticos como la construcción.
- Aumentar los riesgos de seguridad si personas sin licencia comienzan a realizar trabajos técnicos.
Por su parte, el TDLR defiende la medida asegurando que busca combatir el fraude y fortalecer la integridad del sistema de licencias en el estado.
