ESA and Psychiatric Service Animal Evaluations for Austin and Travis County Residents
Get Your ESA Letter in Austin, Texas
Connect with a Texas licensed psychotherapist for an official Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter in Austin that focuses on housing protections and real clinical care, not quick online registrations. We work with renters across downtown Austin, South Congress, The Domain, East Austin, and neighborhoods throughout Travis County.
Your evaluation starts with a free screening and there is no obligation to pay. You only pay if you qualify and decide to move forward with your ESA or psychiatric service animal (PSA) letter for housing.
🐶 Why Austin Residents Trust Texas Service Animals
The structure is the same one we use across Texas, but the wording is written for people who rent in Austin. That includes students near UT, young professionals in high rise apartments, and families in North and South Austin.
Simple and legitimate ESA process
You complete a secure assessment, meet with a Texas licensed psychotherapist, and receive a housing focused ESA or PSA letter after approval and payment. There are no registry add ons or fake certificates, only real documentation based on mental health care.
Local help for Austin housing
We often support renters in downtown, South Congress, Riverside, Mueller, North Austin, and nearby suburbs who are dealing with pet rent, breed rules, size limits, or strict no pet language in their lease.
Privacy aware and secure platform
Your assessment, telehealth visit, and documents are handled with privacy in mind, using secure tools that support ESA and psychiatric service animal requests across Austin and the rest of Texas.
📋 How Our ESA and PSA Process Works in Austin
Here is how to get a legitimate ESA letter in Austin in six clear steps. The workflow is consistent across Texas, but the questions and examples are adapted to common Austin housing situations.
Complete a mental health assessment
You fill out a secure online assessment about your history, current symptoms, and the ways your animal helps you. Many Austin clients mention stress from work in the tech sector, college pressure, live music crowds, traffic, or other city stressors that affect life at home.
Share pet and housing details
You provide information about your dog or cat, your current or planned housing in Austin, and what you are running into with your landlord. That might be pet deposits, monthly pet fees, or a lease that says no pets allowed even though your animal helps you manage mental health symptoms.
Review digital consent and privacy
You review and sign digital consent so that your telehealth visit and ESA or PSA documentation can be completed in a secure and privacy aware way through our online system.
Meet with a Texas licensed provider
You meet with a Texas licensed psychotherapist who reviews your assessment, asks follow up questions, and decides whether an ESA or psychiatric service animal letter is clinically appropriate for your situation in Austin.
Letter drafting and quality review
If you qualify and want to continue, your ESA or PSA housing letter is written to follow Fair Housing Act and HUD guidance. The wording is designed to help landlords and property managers understand your disability related need for an assistance animal.
Secure digital delivery to you
After payment, your letter is emailed to you and is ready for apartments and housing providers across Austin and Travis County. Basic clarification for housing providers is included at no extra fee, so you are not surprised with new charges when an apartment has questions.
🌟 Why Many People in Austin Choose Texas Service Animals
We want ESA and psychiatric service animal letters to feel honest, clear, and grounded in mental health care and housing law, not like something printed from a random template.
Fast help when deadlines are close
Most approved ESA and PSA housing letters are delivered within 24 to 48 hours after payment. This can help when you are up against a move in date, a lease renewal, or a short timeline from an Austin apartment office.
Letters written with law and ethics in mind
Your letter is based on a real evaluation, not a checkbox quiz that spits out a document. The goal is to follow guidance from the Fair Housing Act and HUD so that your ESA or PSA documentation is more likely to be understood and taken seriously.
Support when landlords have questions
If a landlord, apartment office, or property manager in Austin asks basic questions about your letter, we provide clarification as part of the service. You are not pushed into separate verification fees for simple follow up.
🏙 Official Support in Austin
Whether you live near downtown, South Congress, the UT campus, Riverside, or newer developments around The Domain, your ESA or PSA letter should reflect your real mental health needs and the way your animal helps you stay housed in Austin.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions about ESA Letters in Austin
Is the ESA evaluation really free and without obligation? ⌄
Yes. Your initial ESA or psychiatric service animal evaluation is free. You complete the assessment and meet with a Texas licensed psychotherapist who decides whether an ESA or PSA letter is clinically appropriate. If it is not a good fit, you do not pay anything.
If you qualify and decide you want the letter, you receive a secure payment link. You only pay at that point, and your letter is delivered after payment is received.
Will my Austin landlord or apartment accept this ESA letter? ⌄
ESA and PSA letters are written by a Texas licensed psychotherapist and are intended to follow Fair Housing Act and HUD guidance for assistance animals in housing. No provider can promise what a specific landlord will do, but the letters are written for real apartments and rentals in Austin and other Texas cities.
If a housing provider refuses to review your ESA or PSA documentation or treats you differently because of your disability, you can explore a fair housing complaint with HUD. More information is available on the official HUD website.
Do I need to register my Emotional Support Animal in a database? ⌄
No. Current federal housing guidance does not require that you register your ESA in any online database. Housing providers usually look for a letter from a licensed mental health professional that explains your disability related need for an ESA or PSA.
Texas Service Animals does not sell registrations. Instead, we provide real evaluations and letters based on clinical care from a Texas licensed provider.
What mental health conditions can qualify for an ESA or PSA letter? ⌄
Many people in Austin who qualify for ESA or PSA letters live with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, trauma related symptoms, mood disorders, or stress from work, school, or housing problems.
During your evaluation, the provider looks at how your symptoms affect your life and how your animal helps you function. The decision is always made case by case.
Can more than one pet be listed on my ESA housing letter? ⌄
Yes. When it is clinically appropriate, your letter can list more than one Emotional Support Animal. The multiple pet option at Texas Service Animals can cover up to three ESA animals on a single housing letter for one flat fee.
How long is my ESA or PSA letter valid for housing? ⌄
Many housing providers prefer documentation that reflects current care, often within the last year. Your ESA or PSA letter will include the evaluation date. When you need a renewal, the provider will complete an updated assessment to confirm that you still meet criteria and that your animal continues to support your mental health.
Texas Service Animals
I am Eddie Reyes, a licensed psychotherapist in Texas and the founder of Texas Service Animals. I created this platform after seeing how much a supportive animal can help people who live with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges while also trying to keep stable housing in cities like Austin.
Like many of the clients I work with, I also rely on my own Emotional Support Animal. Because of that, I take ESA and PSA evaluations seriously and focus on honest, clinically justified letters that support your housing needs in Austin and across Texas.
