Steps
Determine whether your project needs notification: Texas DSHS requires notice before any building demolition — even when no asbestos is present — and before any renovation that disturbs asbestos-containing material (ACM).
Submit the notification at least 10 working days (not calendar days) before demolition or abatement activity begins, via the Online Asbestos Notification System at vo.ras.dshs.state.tx.us/datamart/login.do, or by mailing the Asbestos Abatement/Demolition Notification Form as an alternative.
File the notification regardless of whether the project falls under NESHAP, TAHPR (Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rules), or both — Texas administers both regimes through the same notification.
Pay the resulting invoice through the online system or by mail with the invoice coupon; DSHS stopped accepting onsite payments as of an April 2022 policy change.
Fax or email a courtesy copy of any amendment to your regional DSHS asbestos inspector in addition to submitting it through the online system.
Known gotchas
Notifications that miss the 10-working-day lead time, or that are incomplete, are treated as 'improper' and can trigger enforcement action; there's no same-day or emergency online filing except for genuine emergencies or government-ordered demolitions.
Notification is required even when no asbestos is present in the structure being demolished — a common mistake is assuming the requirement only applies to jobs involving asbestos abatement.
