INSPECTION.
Operative Text
Sec. 2306.924. INSPECTION. The department shall inspect the migrant labor housing facility not later than the 30th day after the date of receipt of a complete application and the fee. Transferred from Health and Safety Code, Chapter 147 and amended by Acts 2005, 79th Leg., Ch. 60 (H.B. 1099), Sec. 1, eff. September 1, 2005.
Under Texas Government Code § 2306.924, the state department responsible for migrant labor housing oversight is required to conduct a physical inspection of a migrant labor housing facility within 30 days of receiving both a complete application and the associated fee. This provision establishes a firm deadline for the inspection process, ensuring that facilities are reviewed in a timely manner before or as part of the licensing or approval process. The rule applies to the department's administrative obligations, not to the facility operator's conduct during the inspection itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of migrant labor housing facilities subject to § 2306.924 generally ensure that both a complete application and the required fee are submitted together, since the 30-day inspection clock does not begin until both are received by the department. Compliant operators typically have the facility in inspection-ready condition at the time of application, given the relatively short window before an inspector may arrive. Keeping records of the application submission date and fee payment confirmation can help operators track when the inspection window opens and closes.

Section 2306.924 establishes a legal obligation for the department to inspect migrant labor housing facilities within 30 days of a complete application and fee being received, which is a protection relevant to residents of those facilities. Tenants or workers living in migrant labor housing who have concerns about whether an inspection has occurred within the required timeframe may contact the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to inquire about a facility's inspection status. Tenant-rights organizations that focus on agricultural or migrant worker housing can also help residents understand what the inspection process means for their living conditions and what options may be available if a facility appears to be operating without proper review.
