Texas Assistance Animal Regulations
In the state of Texas, emotional support animals and service animals are protected under the federal Fair Housing Act and the Texas Fair Housing Act (Texas Property Code § 301.001 et seq.).
Key Texas Protections:
- Complete Fee Exemption: Texas landlords cannot charge non-refundable pet deposits or monthly pet rent for qualified assistance animals.
- Telemedicine Approval: Texas recognizes telehealth consultations conducted by mental health clinicians licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC).
- Fast Delivery: Unlike California, Texas does not impose a mandatory 30-day waiting period; qualified patients can receive letters within 24–48 hours of evaluation.
