Texas has an enormous stock of 1960s to 1980s homes, schools, and commercial buildings where asbestos floor tile, duct insulation, and textured ceilings are still in place. An accredited lab sample settles it for a fraction of the cost of removal, and an independent inspector keeps the test separate from the sales pitch. See when to test for asbestos.

Texas licenses asbestos contractors, consultants, inspectors, and workers through TDLR, and public and commercial buildings require a licensed survey before renovation or demolition. Ask for the license number, verify it on the state site, and ask who files the required notification before work starts.
