Texas
The codes a design has to satisfy and the bodies that publish and amend them.
4 authorities, 4 statutory, 4 free to read.
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation
A Texas-only approval track running in parallel with the building permit, routinely missed by teams that assume federal accessibility compliance is the whole obligation.
ICC, as adopted by Texas municipalities
The most important entry in this discipline for Texas, because the usual assumption (one state code) is wrong there and would produce confidently incorrect advice.
State of Texas
Makes the widespread 'Texas has no building code' claim precisely wrong in the way that matters. There is a statutory baseline, it is a 2012 snapshot, and the AHJ has almost always moved past it. Only the AHJ's ordinance answers the question.
Texas Department of Insurance and Texas Windstorm Insurance Association
The certificate is the condition of the owner obtaining windstorm insurance, which makes it a commercial deliverable and not merely a code matter. The mismatch between the insurance regulator's adopted edition and the city's is the trap on every coastal job.
