How we picked this list

How we pick
    • Texas Board of Architectural Examiners (TBAE) firm record matched to the business by firm name plus the city on the record (the state's public firm search shows no street or phone), with the name confirmed on the firm's own site, checked November 10 to 11, 2026
    • A Google rating of at least 4.5 from at least 10 reviews, read by the business's Maps place ID, November 10, 2026
    • A location inside the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex
    • Independence: we leave out any business connected to our publisher's client work or sales outreach, and the numbered order comes only from the method on this page
    • Order: Google rating adjusted for review count (a 50-review prior at 4.5); ties go to more reviews in the past 12 months
    • One entry per company (grouped by licence or registration number): the branch with the most Google reviews represents it, and its numbers are the ones printed and ranked
  1. Screened 141 Maps listings. Passed 3. Held for a missing or unmatched check 71. Failed a required check 67.
