Answer a short free screening, pick the plan that fits and talk with a clinician licensed in Texas over video. When the evaluation supports your request, you get a signed letter for a Fort Worth landlord, a property manager or TCU housing.
Start with a short questionnaire that costs nothing; it shows whether booking a full evaluation makes sense before any payment.
Explain what has been hard lately, the animal that eases it and your Fort Worth address, whether that is a Near Southside apartment or a house off Camp Bowie.
After you check out, a Texas-licensed clinician studies your answers and meets you for a telehealth evaluation.
Once your clinician approves, the signed letter is placed in your account. If approval is not possible, you hear the reason and may request a refund under our policy.

Compare the current evaluation fees, read live from our checkout. Screening for Fort Worth residents is free.

From Sundance Square leasing offices to TCU housing, the people reviewing a request want documentation that holds up. This is what ours carries.
Every Fort Worth ESA letter and psychiatric service dog letter carries the clinician's Texas license for anyone to check.
A licensed Texas clinician talks with you before any decision; no letter is approved automatically.
Emotional support animal letters are prepared for landlords, property managers and campus housing offices.
You see the plan price before checkout and pay it once. A letter that cannot be supported falls under our refund policy.
Texas Christian University runs emotional support animal requests through Student Access and Accommodation and its Office of Housing and Residence Life, following a checklist revised in January 2026.
Some steps may need to happen at least 60 days before the animal is allowed at TCU, and a request made mid-semester may not be met until the next semester.
At 817-257-6567, schedule an intake interview with a Disabilities Specialist and get the ESA policy for the residence halls.
At the same time, let the housing office know you are asking for an ESA as a housing accommodation.
It goes to Student Access and Accommodation with the online application, for the Documentation Review Committee to consider.
Student Access and Accommodation sets up a follow-up meeting through your TCU email.
After an approval, return the registration form, the vet records, a City of Fort Worth license or proof of a microchip, a photo of the animal and the signed owner agreement.
Fort Worth Animal Care & Control treats an emotional support dog or cat like every other pet when it comes to identification.
Required for all dogs and cats in Fort Worth since June 26, 2018. A microchipped pet needs no city license; chips are available through TCAP, Animal Care & Control and veterinary clinics.
The dog or cat needs a current license, renewed every three or five years, or a lifetime-of-pet license. Renewals count from the old license's expiration date.
Include a copy of the current rabies certificate and a check for the fee. A lost tag is replaced for $5 with a copy of the original receipt. Pet licenses and microchips
Trinity Metro's rider guidelines, last revised in September 2024, give four short rules for animals on its buses and trains.
Service animals that meet ADA requirements, and pets transported in approved carriers.
A service animal stays on the floor or on a passenger's lap the whole ride.
Neither a service animal nor a pet carrier may block the aisle.
The rider cares for and supervises the animal and covers any damage on board.
The City of Fort Worth Civil Rights Office enforces the city's Human Relations Ordinance alongside the federal and Texas fair housing acts, and the Texas Workforce Commission lists the city among its fair housing resources.
Three state rules that come up when an assistance animal and a lease meet.
Under the Texas Fair Housing Act, a landlord who refuses a reasonable accommodation a tenant's disability calls for is discriminating. How far that protection reaches for an untrained ESA after HUD's change in May 2026 remains an open question.
Turning someone away because of a service animal can bring a misdemeanor charge, punishable by up to $300 in fines plus 30 hours of community service; in a civil case, damages are presumed to be at least $300.
A landlord does not have to refund the deposit or list damages until you give a written forwarding address, but you keep the right to the refund even if you never send one.

Fort Worth stretches into five counties, and the evaluation reaches all of them the same way: by video, with a clinician who holds a Texas license.
Each answer comes from the Fort Worth, Trinity Metro, TCU or legal aid source linked in the sections above.
Not if it has a registered microchip. Since June 26, 2018 Fort Worth has required registered microchips for all dogs and cats, and a microchipped pet needs no license. A dog or cat without one must carry a current license, renewed every three or five years.

Next door, across the Metroplex and statewide
Fort Worth spreads across five counties, but the license on your letter is a Texas license, valid in each of them.
A move from Fort Worth to Arlington, Denton or anywhere else in the state still means a Texas address, so the letter's Texas license still matches.
Our system signs a letter only under a license from the state where the client lives, so a new home outside Texas needs a clinician licensed there.
Answer the free screening first. If a Texas-licensed clinician approves, the signed letter is waiting in your account for your landlord or TCU housing.
