Beginning January, 2019, all Tier II reports will be submitted using the Tier II Online Reporting System:

 If you already have a CN and RN number(s) through another TCEQ program, you are required to use those numbers. You already have a TXT2 number if you have ever filed a Tier II report in Texas. Use the same TXT2 number for all facilities with the same owner or operator. Each TXT2 number should have only one CN associated with it, and vice versa.

Tier II Identifying Numbers

• TXT2 Number: 
  A program identification number unique to the Tier II Chemical Reporting Program. TXT2 numbers are 5 or 6 digit numbers that are assigned to owners or operators of facilities.
• Customer Number (CN):
  Each customer (individual or organization) is issued a unique 11-digit identification number called a CN (e.g. CN123456789). Each customer should have only one CN based upon their name and Texas Secretary of State  or Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts  information as applicable.
• Regulated Entity Number (RN): 
  Each site location is issued a unique 11-digit identification number called a RN (e.g. RN123456789). Each regulated entity should have only one RN number per address or physical location.

Note: Each CN can only be affiliated with a single TXT2 number, and vice-versa.

Verify if you already have number(s)
