Texas Biohazard Cleanup Regulations
Licensing and compliance requirements vary by service type. The information below reflects current Texas rules - always verify with the relevant state agency before hiring a contractor.
Trauma / Crime Scene Cleanup
Texas requires biohazard cleanup companies to hold a valid Department of State Health Services (DSHS) license for handling regulated medical and biohazardous waste; companies must also comply with federal OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. Verify current requirements with the Texas Department of State Health Services before starting any trauma cleanup project.
Hoarding Remediation
No specific state licensing is required for hoarding cleanup in Texas, though contractors must hold general business licenses and comply with local health codes; situations involving biohazardous waste may trigger DSHS regulated waste requirements. Verify requirements with local authorities and Texas DSHS before beginning any project.
Sewage Cleanup
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulates sewage cleanup and disposal in Texas; contractors must comply with TCEQ standards for handling and disposing of sewage-contaminated materials. Confirm specific compliance requirements with TCEQ prior to undertaking any sewage remediation project.
Unattended Death Cleanup
Same licensing requirements as trauma cleanup apply under DSHS regulations; unattended death cleanup companies must hold a DSHS biohazardous waste license and comply with federal OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. Verify current requirements with Texas DSHS before beginning any project.
Mold Remediation
Texas requires separate licenses for mold assessors and mold remediators under the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules (25 TAC Chapter 295); licenses are issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Verify current licensing requirements with Texas DSHS before undertaking any mold remediation project in Texas.
