Adopted Rule Reviews
Texas Board of Architectural Examiners
Title 22, Part 1
The Texas Board of Architectural Examiners (Board) has completed the review of Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Title 22, Part 1, Chapters 1, 3, 5, and 7, relating to Architects, Landscape Architects, Registered Interior Designers, and Administration, respectively.
The rule review was conducted pursuant to Texas Government Code, §2001.039. The proposed notice of intent to review rules was published in the November 21, 2025 issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 7585). The Board received no comments in response to that notice.
The Board finds that the reasons for adopting all rules in Chapters 1, 3, 5, and 7 continue to exist, and therefore readopts all Board rules in accordance with the requirements of Texas Government Code, §2001.039.
This concludes the review of TAC, Title 22, Part 1, Chapters 1, 3, 5, and 7.
