New TAS Approved

The final draft of the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) (2.7MB PDF) was approved for adoption by the Commission on November 1, 2011; however, the revised standards will not become effective until March 15, 2012. Until that time, compliance with the 1994 Texas Accessibility Standards is required.

Compliance with the 2012 TAS will be required on all buildings and facilities subject to Chapter 469.003 when:

- the construction project is registered with the Department on or after March 15, 2012 ; or

- the application for a building permit is issued by a state, county, or local government on or after March 15, 2012; or

- the commencement of construction begins on or after March 15, 2012.
