Emotional Support Animal in Texas qr.ae

Individuals with disabilities in Texas are protected by federal and state laws that allow them to have an emotional support animal (ESA) to help with daily activities. These animals are not considered pets, but rather offer their owners therapeutic benefits.

People with disabilities are allowed to keep an ESA in their homes under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), even if their landlord has a no-pet policy. ESAs are also recognised by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities in public places and workplaces.

An individual must have a diagnosed mental or emotional disability that significantly limits one or more major life activities in order to qualify for an ESA Letter in Texas. They must also be accompanied by a recommendation.
