Quick answer
How Do You Get an ESA Letter or PSD Letter in Texas?
Begin with a free application and select the letter evaluation that fits your needs. If an evaluation appears appropriate, you may choose to continue with a Texas-licensed mental health provider. The provider makes the clinical decision and may prepare an ESA housing letter or PSD letter when supported by the evaluation.
An ESA or PSD letter documents a clinical recommendation. It does not register or certify an animal, replace task training or guarantee an accommodation.

Texas housing documentation
What Can an ESA Letter Support?
When a disability-related need is not obvious, a housing provider may request reliable supporting information. A clinically appropriate ESA letter may support a request involving an apartment, landlord, property manager, HOA or student housing office.
- A reasonable-accommodation request involving a no-pet policy
- A request concerning ordinary pet rent, pet fees or a pet deposit
- Documentation of a disability-related need without unnecessary medical details
An ESA letter does not guarantee that a housing request will be approved. Each request depends on its facts and the law that applies.
Choose the right path
ESA Letter or PSD Letter: Which Do You Need?
Both letter services begin with a mental health evaluation, but the animal’s role and the purpose of the documentation are different.
ESA Letter for Housing
An Emotional Support Animal provides support through its presence. An ESA letter may document a disability-related need for a housing accommodation when clinically appropriate.
Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) Letter
A Psychiatric Service Dog is individually trained to perform tasks related to a psychiatric disability. A PSD letter documents the provider’s clinical recommendation; it does not certify the dog or replace task training.
Common questions
Texas ESA Letter & PSD Letter FAQs
Clear answers about ESA letters, PSD letters and licensed evaluations in Texas.
How do I get an ESA letter in Texas?
Start with the free application. If an evaluation appears appropriate, you may choose to continue with a Texas-licensed mental health provider. The provider may prepare an ESA housing letter when the evaluation supports it.
Can I speak with someone before payment?
Yes. After the free application, you can call, WhatsApp or text us to request a consultation before deciding whether to proceed with payment.
Can an ESA letter help with pet rent or a pet deposit?
It may support a reasonable-accommodation request when a licensed professional documents a qualifying need. Approval depends on the facts, the housing provider’s review and the law that applies.
Is an ESA certificate or registration the same as an ESA letter?
No. A purchased certificate, registry listing, ID card or vest does not document a disability-related need. A legitimate housing letter follows a personal evaluation by an appropriately licensed provider.
Is an ESA letter guaranteed?
No. The provider must use independent clinical judgment, so not every person will qualify. Documentation is issued only when clinically appropriate.
What happens if I do not qualify?
If the licensed provider determines after the professional evaluation that ESA or PSD documentation is not clinically appropriate, Texas Service Animals refunds your evaluation fee in full. This does not guarantee housing-provider approval.
Do you assist with third-party housing verification requests?
Yes. After documentation is issued, our team can help coordinate a response to a legitimate administrative verification request from your housing provider or its authorized third-party screening platform. Verification support is included with the evaluation and is not billed as a separate add-on. Standard processing times apply; same-day or expedited completion is not guaranteed.
Does an ESA letter give public-access rights?
No. An ESA does not have the same public-access rights as a trained service dog under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ESA documentation discussed here is for housing requests.
What is a PSD letter?
A PSD letter is clinical documentation from a licensed provider supporting a person’s disability-related need for a Psychiatric Service Dog when clinically appropriate. The dog must still be individually trained to perform work or tasks related to the disability.
Does a PSD letter certify my dog as a service dog?
No. A PSD letter does not certify, register or train a dog. Under the ADA, service-dog status depends on the dog being individually trained to perform disability-related work or tasks; businesses open to the public cannot require a certificate or letter for entry.
