The state of Texas provides proper protection to the rights of persons with emotional or mental disabilities. If you have any emotional disability and you owned an emotional support animal, there are many rights that you can have in the state of Texas. The following are some aspects where you need to know about your rights being the owner of an ESA presa canario⁠.

  1. If you have an ESA, you can go to apartments and houses where other animals are not allowed. No landlord can refuse to give you his property due to your disability and your ESA. 
  2. The state of Texas allows your ESA to enter in no-animal apartments and even you do not need to inform your landlord at the time of lease agreement. You can inform your landlord any time about your ESA. 
  3. It is the responsibility of your landlord to make proper arrangements for your emotional support animal. 
  4. You do not need to pay extra rent for your ESA. No landlord can ask you to pay extra for your money. If someone asks you to pay for your ESA, you have the option to register a complaint. 
  5. Your landlord cannot ask you about the nature of your disability. Thus, you do not need to disclose the nature of the history of your disability. 

The only thing you need to provide is an ESA Letter. An ESA letter is the legal document that is issued by a licensed mental health doctor. To get an ESA letter, you need to visit a registered therapist. He may issue the letter after considering your mental disabilities.
