ESA Letter for Texas

An ESA is an emotional support animal typically prescribed for the individual experiencing any challenges with their mental health and requires further support or companionship. Although an ESA does not require specific training, they are there to provide emotional support and can be trained to look for any signs of discomfort, distress, or anxiety.

In Texas, an ESA can be an animal, such as a cat or dog, that provides support, companionship, and safety to individuals experiencing challenges with their mental health. Individuals can have multiple emotional support animals; however, unlike service animals, ESA has some restrictions in public spaces.

An ESA letter must be written and verified by a licensed mental health professional, such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, or therapist.
