Hi. We're planning on cutting down the last 3 mature trees from the back
yard and we're looking for bids from certified arborists. We have one
bid so far but we like to shop around...

I doubt you need a certified arborist for this but for sure you need a
contractor with general liability and Texas Workers Compensation
Insurance coverage. Tree people can be expensive as their insurance
rates are fairly steep due to the types of hazards they face in their
jobs.
