The United Association announced that the state of Texas has adopted the UA HVACR

The
UA’s HVACR STAR exam covers 12 areas of expertise, ranging from mechanical and
electrical systems, controls, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration,
steam systems, plumbing, ventilation, safety, customer service and more. In
addition to being STAR-certified, technicians who complete this program receive
30 college credits towards an Associate’s degree in HVACR/construction
supervision. The program was developed jointly by the UA and Ferris State
University.
