Accessibility regulations for most non-residential projects in the State of Texas can be found at the The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) website.

You will want to go to the section on Elimination of Architectural Barriers, which contains the latest news, documents, and requirements.

TDLR is a state regulatory agency that currently oversees over twenty types of businesses, industries, trades and occupations. The agency is responsible for issuing licenses, conducting inspections, investigating complaints, assessing penalties, setting rules and standards and holding hearings.

Formed in 1919, the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards - NCARB - develops standards that apply to applicants for architectural registration in America.

NCARB members are the architectural registration boards of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the four U.S. territories of Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

To read more about current architectural registration requirements, see this recent Overview on Licensing of Architects created by NCARB together with data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics ( drawn from its 2004-2005 Occupational Outlook Handbook).
