Laredo elevator inspections fall under Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) jurisdiction per Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 754. All elevators must be registered, inspected annually by licensed inspectors, and display current certificates of compliance.
Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 754 and 16 TAC Chapter 74 require all commercial, multifamily, and public building elevators, escalators, and related equipment to be registered with TDLR and inspected annually by a licensed elevator inspector. Owners must file the inspection report with TDLR and post the current Certificate of Compliance in the elevator cab or machine room. New installations and major alterations require permits, plan review, and acceptance testing under ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Periodic tests (5-year full-load, 1-year no-load) are required. Private residence elevators in single-family homes are exempt from state regulation but must still meet IRC building code requirements when installed. Violations of TDLR rules can result in shutdown orders and administrative penalties up to 5,000 dollars per violation.
Operating without current Certificate of Compliance is subject to TDLR shutdown orders and administrative penalties up to 5,000 dollars per violation.
