Certified Copies and Copying Costs
We charge for copying records, certifying records, and supplying offline datasets.
Certifying Copies
You can obtain certified copies of documents through the Central File Room. You can request in person or by email at cfrreq@tceq.texas.gov:
- Request certified copies from file room;
- The file room will coordinate having the certified copies made;
- There is a 50-cent charge for each paper and 1-dollar for each compact disk certification prepared.
You cannot remove copies of documents from TCEQ premises prior to certification if you want them certified. If you are in a TCEQ regional office and the document you wish certified is located there, email the request for certification to cfrreq@tceq.texas.gov.
