I am in California so the law here is a little different with a 30 day period and 2 therapy sessions but it was extremely worth it

Why choose an ESA in Texas?

Texas law supports the use of Emotional Support Animals for individuals with mental or emotional disablities. With a valid ESA letter you can.

  • Live in housing with “no pets” policies without additional fees.
  • Have your ESA recognized as part of your mental health treatment.
  • Benefit from protections under the Fair Housing Act.

Texas has clear requirements—and we meet them all:

Only Texas-licensed clinicians – We never outsource across state lines.

Why an ESA Letter Makes Life Easier in Texas

Your emotional support animal is more than a pet—it’s part of your healing, your home, and your everyday peace of mind. A legitimate ESA letter helps you honor that bond and keep your companion by your side, no matter where life in Texas takes you.

Here’s what it gives you:

  • Live with your ESA—regardless of breed or building rules
  • Skip pet deposits and monthly fees
  • Provide proof to landlords or housing authorities with confidence
  • Avoid disputes or confusion over your animal's role
  • Receive daily emotional and mental health support from your companion animal

Whether you're in Austin, Houston, Dallas, or a small Texas town—your ESA should be part of your home life. Pettable ensures that’s possible.

Emotional Support Animals vs. Psychiatric Service Dogs: What’s the Difference?

Not sure whether you need an ESA or a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD)? Here's what you should know:

  • ESAs provide emotional comfort and are protected under housing laws. They don’t require specialized training.
  • PSDs are service animals trained to perform tasks that assist with psychiatric conditions. They are covered under the ADA & Texas law and can accompany you in public spaces like restaurants and airplanes.
  • If you think a PSD may be a better fit, Pettable can guide you through the process.

Avoiding Common ESA Myths in Texas

There’s a lot of confusion around ESA letters. Let’s clear a few things up:

ESAs aren’t service animals – ESAs provide comfort but aren’t trained for specific tasks and don’t have public access rights like service dogs.

ESA registration is not legally recognized – Texas (and federal law) doesn’t recognize any ESA "registries" or ID cards. What matters is a valid letter from a licensed provider.

Not all online ESA services are scams – If the service pairs you with a real, state-licensed provider and follows legal steps—like Pettable—it’s legitimate.

Mental Health Benefits of an ESA in Texas

They Provide A Healthy Routine - Pet lovers know how much responsibility a domesticated animal requires, and with all the care your ESA needs, you can establish a healthy routine that improves your emotional well-being. Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, getting in some playtime with your rodent, or feeding your starving snake, an ESA guarantees that you have something to focus on other than mental health issues.

They Support your Mental Health - An ESA can support your mental health in so many ways, whether it’s through encouraging you to get out of bed, coaxing you to be more active, or promoting a healthier lifestyle. They also can give you the love and companionship that only your beloved assistance animal can provide.

Reduces feelings of anxiety and stress - Simply petting or cuddling with an ESA can lower cortisol levels and promote calmness.

Eases feelings of loneliness - ESAs offer unconditional companionship, which can reduce isolation and boost mood.

Interrupts negative thought patterns - Many people report that their ESA helps ground them during panic attacks or depressive episodes.

Increases opportunities for social interaction - Dog owners, in particular, often connect with others during walks or outings, supporting social health.

How to Get a Psychiatric Service Dog in Texas

If you need more assistance in public spaces, transit, or air travel, maybe a psychiatric service dog (PSD) is what you need. If that’s the case, Pettable can help you through the entire process. If you already have a canine companion, all you need to do is train it to perform specific tasks related to your mental health disability — and you can trust Pettable’s online PSD training program.

In Texas, ESAs and PSDs are very different beasts. A PSD is a dog of any breed that is trained to perform one or more tasks to directly aid your mental health disability. With that distinction, your PSD can accompany you in public accommodations such as grocery stores, shopping malls, medical facilities, and governmental buildings. On the other hand, an ESA is not considered a service animal since they simply provide companionship and emotional support, so they are only given protection in housing.
