Operative Text
Sec. 2306.925. FAILURE TO MEET STANDARDS; REINSPECTION. (a) If a migrant labor housing facility for which a license application is made does not meet the reasonable minimum standards of construction, sanitation, equipment, and operation required by rules adopted under this subchapter, the department at the time of inspection shall give the license applicant the reasons that the facility does not meet those standards. The applicant may request the department to reinspect the facility not later than the 60th day after the date on which the reasons are given.(b) If a facility does not meet the standards on reinspection, the applicant must submit a new license application as provided by Section 2306.923. 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 § 2306.925, when a migrant labor housing facility seeking a license is found during inspection to fall short of the minimum standards for construction, sanitation, equipment, or operation, the inspecting department must provide the applicant with written reasons for the deficiencies at the time of inspection. The applicant then has up to 60 days from receiving those reasons to request a follow-up reinspection of the facility. If the facility still does not meet the required standards at reinspection, the applicant must start the licensing process over by submitting a new application.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking a license for a migrant labor housing facility under § 2306.925 generally document and address every deficiency cited by the department at the time of initial inspection before requesting a reinspection. Because the reinspection window closes 60 days after the reasons for non-compliance are communicated, compliant operators typically move promptly to remediate construction, sanitation, equipment, or operational shortfalls. If the facility still does not pass reinspection, the operator must file a new license application under § 2306.923, so maintaining thorough records of corrective actions taken is a common practice.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Migrant workers residing in or considering housing at a licensed facility have an interest in knowing that § 2306.925 establishes a reinspection process designed to ensure facilities meet minimum standards before a license is granted. If a facility is operating without a valid license or has failed inspection, tenants or advocates can raise those facts when engaging with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs or other relevant state bodies. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with migrant labor housing can help residents understand what standards apply and what avenues exist for reporting concerns about facility conditions.
