Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of migrant labor housing facilities in Texas must comply with the licensing requirements set out in Tex. Gov't Code § 2306.923 before beginning operations. A compliant operator submits a completed application on the board-prescribed form at least 45 days before the intended opening date, includes all required details about the facility and its anticipated use, and pays the applicable license fee at the time of submission. Operators generally keep records of their application submissions and fee payments to demonstrate timely compliance with the board's rules.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tex. Gov't Code § 2306.923 requires that migrant labor housing facilities be licensed before they begin operating, which means tenants residing in such facilities have a basis to inquire whether their housing provider has obtained the required license. If a facility appears to be operating without a proper license or outside the terms of its application, residents may consider contacting the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Knowing whether a facility is properly licensed can be relevant information when evaluating the conditions and legality of the housing being provided.
