Trevor Theilen Law Office

I protect and defend occupational licenses across all of Texas, especially for licensees facing criminal cases. I consult with professional licensees and their criminal defense attorney to advise about how to protect their licenses during and after the criminal case. I also fight licensing boards to protect licenses. I also defend criminal cases in North Texas, mostly in Collin County, but can also handle cases in Dallas County, Denton County, Rockwall County, and Tarrant County.

I regulated professional licensees across Texas for 12 years. I focused exclusively on criminal history license denials and revocations across about 40 different industries from 2017 to 2023. From 2011 to 2017, I enforced the laws and rules that regulate electricians, air conditioning workers, elevator workers/inspectors/owners, boiler owners/inspectors, and other occupations.
