Apply online for an emotional support animal letter for housing or a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) letter evaluation. A Texas-licensed mental health provider evaluates your needs by phone and issues documentation only when clinically appropriate.
Letters document a disability-related need. An optional letter companion certificate or ID may summarize issued documentation, but it does not register or certify the animal, create legal status or guarantee approval.

Your provider assesses your individual needs by phone and may prepare an emotional support animal housing letter or PSD letter when clinically appropriate.
An ESA or PSD letter documents a clinical recommendation. It does not register or certify an animal, replace task training or guarantee an accommodation. An optional companion certificate or ID is a separate convenience summary and does not replace the signed provider letter.

An ESA letter evaluation costs $169 for one animal or $219 for up to three animals. A PSD letter evaluation is $249. Payment covers the professional evaluation; documentation depends on the provider’s clinical decision. Compare evaluation prices and what is included.
If the licensed provider determines after the professional evaluation that ESA or PSD documentation is not clinically appropriate, your evaluation fee is refunded in full. This refund promise does not guarantee that a housing provider will approve an accommodation request.
Our team is experienced in handling legitimate administrative verification requests from housing providers and their authorized third-party screening platforms after documentation is issued. We coordinate with the evaluating provider to support a response within the scope of the documentation and applicable privacy requirements. This support is included with the evaluation. There is no separate verification add-on fee. Standard processing times apply; same-day or expedited completion is not guaranteed.
After an ESA or PSD letter is issued, clients may request an optional digital companion certificate or ID prepared from the issued documentation. It provides a convenient summary of basic letter information. It is not a government registration, is not legally required, does not certify the animal or create ESA or service-dog status, and does not replace the signed provider letter or disability-related task training.
For Texas residents seeking housing documentation related to an apartment, landlord, pet rent, pet deposit or no-pet policy.
The process is designed to be clear, clinically responsible and useful for housing conversations.
Your evaluation is completed by a mental health professional licensed to serve Texas residents.
Your symptoms, functional needs, housing concern and animal’s support role are considered individually.
When appropriate, documentation may support a reasonable-accommodation request involving pet rules or fees.
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.
An ESA letter does not guarantee that a housing request will be approved. Each request depends on its facts and the law that applies.
Both letter services begin with a mental health evaluation, but the animal’s role and the purpose of the documentation are different.
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.
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.
Clear answers about ESA letters, PSD letters and licensed evaluations 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.
Yes. After the free application, you can call, WhatsApp or text us to request a consultation before deciding whether to proceed with payment.
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.
No. A standalone 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. After a letter is issued, Texas Service Animals may provide an optional companion certificate or ID by request. It summarizes basic document information, is not legally required and does not replace the signed provider letter.
No. The provider must use independent clinical judgment, so not every person will qualify. Documentation is issued only when clinically appropriate.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Hi, I’m Eddie, the founder of TexasServiceAnimals.net.
I started this platform because I understand the difference a loyal companion can make in our mental well-being. I have an ESA myself, and it has helped me through my own challenges. Our animals are family, offering comfort, stability and unconditional love when we need it most.
Texas Service Animals helps Texas residents access ethical ESA letter and Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) letter evaluations through Texas-licensed mental health professionals. Our goal is to make the process of requesting legitimate documentation clear, compassionate and secure.
We do not sell registrations, instant approvals or standalone certificates that claim to create ESA or service-dog status. Every letter that is issued follows an individualized professional evaluation. After a letter is issued, clients may request an optional companion certificate or ID that summarizes basic document information without replacing the signed provider letter.
Our team can answer general questions about ESA letter evaluations, PSD letter evaluations, provider documentation and continued support.
