Methodology
Notary records come from the Texas Secretary of State's published notary file, GDN dealer records from TxDMV, and contractor licences from TDLR. Each dataset is re-imported on a monthly schedule and counts are computed directly against those mirrors — no sampling or estimation. "Active" means the commission or licence expiration date is today or later. Records the state publishes with missing city or county values are excluded from the geographic breakdowns but included in statewide totals, so the geographic tables sum to slightly less than the total.
