Texas Structural Pest Control Act

Texas · OC · §§ 1951.001 to 1951.603 · 79 sections

Overview

The act regulates the business of structural pest control — the commercial identification, prevention, and treatment of pests in, on, and around buildings and other structures, chiefly through the application of pesticides. It requires businesses to hold a license, centralizes licensing authority and fee-setting in a designated committee, and provides for rulemaking on licensing standards, environmental and advertising practices, inspection of license holders, and liability for misapplication of pesticides, backed by subpoena and enforcement powers. It also exempts a range of activities — work on one's own or an employer's premises, agricultural and ordinary household use, beekeeping and falconry, and low-risk or non-pesticide methods — and directs the regulator toward integrated pest management, including programs for school districts, along with public information, complaint-handling, and public participation procedures.
