Check work boundaries before taking a helper role

Done right: Worked output (fictional): Duties as written: (1) to (4), each marked 'license or exemption status: not determined by me'. The note 'helper work is exempt' is recorded as an unverified claim. Authority to consult: TDLR's official licensing information and application (record the URL and review date). Unanswered questions: who supervises each duty and what license that person holds; how the work is documented; what 'help with panel work' means in practice. Confirmed items (the written duty list) and unanswered items (permission, supervision) stay separate; no private records. This is the node's question sheet. Changed case result: with only the title 'helper', the duties become UNKNOWN; ask for written duties before any check. The title alone does not settle permission, and conclusions tied to the old list are reopened.

Common mistake: First error: sorting the list into 'exempt' and 'needs a license' yourself, or accepting the note 'helper work is exempt'. Correction: this research sheet does not authorize unlicensed electrical work or define an exemption; record the duties as written, name TDLR as the authority and turn every permission point into a question for TDLR or the employer. In the changed case, do not let the job title fill in the missing duties.
