the category of P.E. in Texas

In Texas, you can take the exam for any discipline.  You are only authorized by your license to do engineering work for things in which you are competent...A petroleum engineer probably could not design a bridge, but maybe, if that is the area where they have qualified experience and have been trained.  There are plenty examples in Texas where engineers have been fined or had their licenses revoked for practicing outside of their competency area.

Also, just FYI, when you look up a license on the Texas PE roster, it lists the type of engineering for your license, although it's not on your stamp.

My final caveat, is always check with the board if you have questions like this...this is why we are paying them...
