Investigations and Compliance Assistance
Investigation Checklists
We use checklists in investigations related to specific rules, regulations, and permits.
Field Citations
The field citation is intended to promote a quick resolution for any of the field citation-eligible violations documented during a TCEQ investigation, while offering a reduced penalty.
Environmental Crime
We provide technical support and criminal investigative expertise in multi-agency investigations. We also serve as a resource for—and provide training to—local, state, and federal law enforcement officers on criminal environmental violations.
Dam Safety Program
We monitor and regulate both private and public dams in Texas. We periodically inspect dams that pose a high or significant hazard and make recommendations and reports to dam owners to help them maintain safe facilities.
TexasEnviroHelp: Small Business and Local Government Assistance
We offer resources specifically tailored to help small businesses and local governments comply with environmental regulations.
Air Regulatory Compliance Assistance
Find technical guidance and stay up to date with current issues in air quality regulations.
