Texas housing laws on Emotional Support animals
Under Texas’s service animal law, people with disabilities who have service animals are entitled to full and equal access to housing. You may not be required to pay extra to have a service animal, or to pay a special deposit. However, you are liable for any damages your service animal causes to the property or to another person.
The federal Fair Housing Act requires housing facilities to allow service dogs and emotional support animals, if necessary for a person with a disability to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the home. To fall under this provision, you must have a disability and you must have a disability-related need for the animal. In other words, the animal must work, perform tasks or services, or alleviate the emotional effects of your disability in order to qualify.
