Mold inspector licensing in Texas
Texas licenses mold assessors and mold remediators separately through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under Occupations Code Chapter 1958. An assessor who collects samples and writes the assessment must hold a Mold Assessment Consultant, Technician, or Company license; the same person generally cannot both assess and remediate the same property, which keeps the inspection independent of the remediation work. TDLR also sets minimum performance standards for assessments and clearances.
