Is an online ESA letter valid in Texas?
Yes. Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords in Texas must accept letters signed by a licensed mental health professional who has clinically evaluated you. Telehealth evaluations are fully recognized as long as the provider holds an active license in Texas.
Does my landlord in Texas have to accept my ESA?
Yes, under federal law. Landlords must provide a reasonable accommodation, which includes waiving pet fees, pet deposits, and weight or breed restrictions. A landlord can only deny an ESA if the animal poses a documented threat to safety or causes substantial property damage.

No. Approved Emotional Support Animals are legally classified as assistance animals, not pets. Landlords are prohibited from charging pet rent, pet security deposits, or registration fees for them.
