PLAN REVIEW - COMPLETED
Mr. Garza:
Enclosed are the results of the plan review completed on the referenced facility. Identified on the report are
areas of nonconformance with accessibility standards adopted by the Texas Department of Licensing
(TDLR) for purposes of ensuring compliance with Texas Government Code, Chapter 469.
Although deficiencies have been noted, the referenced project may be eligible for inspection approval if
constructed in accordance with the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS). Items that are the responsibility of
the owner should be referred to the appropriate person for action.
Where a response is requested, please notify this office within 30 days that the items so noted will be
constructed in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Texas Accessibility Standards (T AS)
The building or facility owner must request an inspection from the Registered Accessibility Specialist (RAS)
or TDLR no later than 30 days after the completion of construction. If the completion date provided on the
Architectural Barriers Project Registration Form is no longer correct, notify this office (in writing) of the
revised completion date, as soon as possible.
This determination does not address the applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), (P.L.
101-336), or any other local. state, or federal requirement For information on the ADA, call the ADA
Hotline, (800) 949-4232 or the United States Department of Justice at (202) 514-0301.
Please reference the Department assigned project number in all future correspondence pertaining to this
project. Questions concerning this matter should be directed to Martin Mullins, RAS #291 at 214-532-0386.
