What the law says
Tex. Prop. Code § 301.025 mirrors the federal FHA reasonable-accommodation duty; Texas has no 'assistance animal' definition, and § 121.006 misrepresentation is trained-service-animal-only.

In plain language
Not a dedicated one — the Texas Fair Housing Act mirrors the federal FHA, so the reasonable-accommodation duty that covers emotional-support animals applies in Texas, but the state has no separate ESA statute and its animal-fraud law reaches only trained service animals. A legitimate letter from a licensed provider supports the accommodation. This is general information, not legal advice — consult a Texas-licensed attorney about your situation.
