According to the websites, below, no license is required to run a repossession business in Texas, but there may be a need to get a basic business license within the specific community, especially if the business requires parking and/or fuel facilities, and/or the use of arms and weapons, etc., not to mention a towing license, assuming you intend on executing the repossessions, rather than just doing the investigative end of it. Consult the Texas Department of Transportation and your local Chamber of Commerce, Town Hall, or similar government offices.
