Sec. 301.070. ACCESSIBILITY ASSISTANCE AND INFORMATION FOR LANDLORDS. The commission shall provide to landlords technical and other assistance relating to the accessibility requirements under this chapter. Added by Acts 1999, 76th Leg., ch. 872, Sec. 16, eff. Sept. 1, 1999. SUBCHAPTER E. ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 301.070 of the Texas Property Code directs the Texas commission to make technical assistance and informational resources available to landlords regarding the accessibility requirements established under Chapter 301. The provision creates an affirmative duty on the commission's part to support compliance, rather than placing a new obligation on landlords or tenants. It is part of the broader administrative enforcement framework established under Subchapter E.

For Property Managers

Under Tex. Prop. Code § 301.070, the commission responsible for administering Chapter 301 is required to offer technical and other assistance to help landlords understand and meet the chapter's accessibility requirements. Operators who are uncertain about what accessibility standards apply to their properties can generally reach out to the commission directly to request guidance or informational materials. Proactively using these resources is a common practice among compliant property managers navigating accessibility obligations.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section 301.070 establishes that the commission must provide landlords with resources related to accessibility requirements under Chapter 301, which can be relevant context for tenants who believe a property is not meeting those standards. Tenants who encounter potential accessibility issues may find it useful to know that landlords have access to official guidance from the commission, which can be referenced when raising concerns. General enforcement paths under Subchapter E, tenant-rights organizations, or a housing attorney can help tenants understand how accessibility requirements under § 301.070's broader chapter may apply to their situation.
