I believe the State of Texas does require a licence to sell bees commercially. I would assume the Texas Department of Agriculture would be where you need to go.

I think only Florida requires this at this point.

There is usually a limit that you can sell before you need to get a license. I think in NC it's around 10 hives per year (or something like that). Ask AG before you apply for one though.
In NC, you need to be registered with the State to sell more than 10 packages or nucs.
