Texas legal and readiness guide
This state page gives practical pre-intake checks you can run before submitting leads or provider claims. It is designed to build trust and reduce mismatch before match submission.
Home-mod checks
Contractor licensing
- Contractor classification differs by city/county; confirm the exact category before engagement.
- Insurance proof should include residential liability and completed project scope coverage.
Permits and compliance
- Exterior changes in Texas metro areas can require coordination with HOA or municipal review.
- Ask for permit filing timestamps and inspection schedule in the first quote.
Operational process quality
- Use line-item estimates and explicit material substitutions policy.
- Request site-safe staging plans for mobility-limited residents.
Recommended proof points
Use one verified proof source per step (license status, permit status, contract scope, inspection plan). If this is unclear, use our providers queue and ask for review before listing/public updates.
Not legal advice. Rules change and can vary by county or municipality. Verify details on official state and local pages before finalizing service plans.
