Registered Accessibility Specialist (RAS) Services in Texas

Ensuring Compliance with Texas Accessibility Standards

When planning a new construction project or evaluating an existing build, ensuring accessibility compliance is essential. That’s why we provide expert guidance, inspection, and consulting services to help you meet all requirements under the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our team of certified Registered Accessibility Specialists (RAS), licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), is dedicated to making the compliance process smooth, clear, and efficient for architects, developers, property owners, and contractors.

What is a Registered Accessibility Specialist?

A Registered Accessibility Specialist (RAS) is licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to ensure construction projects meet all accessibility requirements as outlined in the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS). These standards are a state-mandated version of the ADA guidelines, specifically tailored for projects in Texas. Whether your project involves new construction, renovations, or additions, a RAS can assist in:

Conducting plan reviews to confirm compliance before construction begins.
Performing thorough on-site inspections during and after the build process.
Advising on modifications necessary for TAS and ADA compliance.

Working with a Registered Accessibility Specialist ensures your project aligns with all legal requirements, avoiding potential delays, fines, or costly retrofitting.

At TXRAS, we provide a full suite of accessibility services tailored to meet your needs. Whether you are in the early planning stages or completing construction, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Plan Reviews

Before starting construction or renovations, our RAS team will review your architectural plans to identify any potential accessibility issues. We work with you to make necessary adjustments, ensuring your project meets the required accessibility standards before it even breaks ground.
