Only the electrical contractor licence authorises a business to offer electrical work and to pull a permit. Master, journeyman and apprentice are individual licences: a master electrician working for someone else is properly licensed as an individual and still not a licensed contractor. Verify the business's contractor number, not the electrician's card, when what you are checking is who you are paying.
Full coverage detail, including the caveats that apply to every Texas lookup, is on the Texas page.
