Texas Health and Safety Code 754 requires annual inspections of elevators, escalators, and similar equipment by licensed inspectors. TDLR administers the program statewide.
Elevators, escalators, platform lifts, dumbwaiters, and similar conveyances in Grapevine buildings are regulated under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 754 and 16 TAC Chapter 74, administered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). All covered equipment (with limited single-family residential exceptions) must be registered with TDLR and inspected at least annually by a TDLR-licensed inspector, with more frequent inspections after accidents. Contractors installing, altering, or maintaining elevators must be licensed. Safety deficiencies require prompt correction and may trigger red-tagging that removes the equipment from service. Grapevine enforces building permits and inspection requirements for new installations consistent with state rules. Owners must post current inspection certificates near the equipment. Call TDLR at 1-800-803-9202 for inspection questions.
