A personal reason to make the process clearer.
Eddie Reyes founded Texas Service Animals after seeing how meaningful animal companionship can be for people navigating mental-health challenges. His role supports education and the administrative process; independent licensed providers make clinical decisions.
Our commitment
We don’t sell instant approvals. Our private client-record registration includes year-round customer support, with reminders to consider follow-up evaluations and relevant policy or legal updates when available. Some hotels and businesses may not be familiar with which documents are required and may still ask to see an ID or certificate. Clients have shared positive experiences having optional TSA IDs or certificates handy while traveling, saying they made those conversations more convenient. These materials are not required or government-issued and do not establish legal animal status. They remain separate from the licensed provider’s clinical documentation; a provider issues an ESA letter or PSD letter only when clinically appropriate. Reminders are informational, and updates are not legal advice.

HOW WE WORK
A clear separation between support and clinical care
Texas Service Animals coordinates the application, explains service options and helps with general process questions. Independent Texas-licensed mental health professionals conduct the evaluations and make their own clinical decisions. Administrative staff cannot promise that an ESA letter or PSD letter will be issued or direct a provider’s clinical decision.
This separation matters. Payment is for a professional evaluation, not for a particular outcome. If a provider concludes that documentation is not clinically appropriate, the published evaluation-fee refund terms apply. Housing providers also make their own accommodation decisions; an ESA letter or PSD letter from the provider does not guarantee approval.
CREDENTIALS & TRANSPARENCY
Check a Texas provider’s license
The evaluation team includes Texas-licensed professional counselors. You can verify an individual license through the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council’s public lookup. Search by the provider’s name or license number and confirm the current status directly with the licensing agency.
Before an evaluation, review who will provide it, what the fee covers, how records are handled and what happens if no ESA letter or PSD letter is recommended. We encourage questions about the process and make the distinction between ESA and PSD evaluations, optional companion materials and animal registration clear.
OUR ROLE
Evaluation services, not animal sales or registration
We do not sell, place, breed or train Emotional Support Animals or service dogs. We provide access to an evaluation and, when clinically appropriate, documentation prepared by the provider. An ESA is not required to complete task training; a psychiatric service dog must still be individually trained to perform disability-related work or tasks.
Our education pages explain common housing and student-housing questions, but they are general information rather than legal or medical advice. For a decision about a specific accommodation, consult the housing provider and, when needed, a qualified fair-housing or legal resource.
