Do you provide PE stamping in Houston?

Yes. Houston jobs are reviewed and stamped by a Texas-licensed PE, with the set checked against the Houston Permitting Center’s commercial prerequisite items, including floodplain mitigation and soil report requirements when they apply.

Can an out-of-state PE stamp Texas plans?

No. The engineer must hold an active Texas PE license from TBPELS. Drawings prepared in another state can be reviewed, but only a Texas-licensed PE who takes responsible charge of them can seal the set.

Do you stamp projects in the TDI windstorm area?

Yes. We stamp the design drawings and calculations and flag designated catastrophe area sites at intake. WPI-8 inspections are performed by a TDI inspector or a TDI-appointed engineer, so tell us whether you already have one lined up.

When a Texas permit needs a PE stamp

Texas has no statewide building department for private construction, so the city or county issuing the permit decides what has to be sealed. Commercial new construction and tenant improvements, multifamily buildings, foundation and structural repair plans, retaining walls, and commercial MEP, fire alarm, and sprinkler plans are the most common reasons a Texas building department asks for a PE stamp.

The engineer must hold an active Texas license from TBPELS. What a Texas seal must show is covered in our Texas PE stamp guide; this page covers how we handle Texas jobs city by city. AllInStamp verifies Texas licensure before any set is stamped, and multidiscipline sets can be split across Texas-licensed engineers under one quote.

PE stamping in Houston

Houston permits are handled by Houston Public Works through the Houston Permitting Center on Washington Avenue. Commercial plans are uploaded electronically once the application is approved and the plan review fee is paid, together with the Commercial Prerequisite Checklist (CE-1105). Houston requires each sheet to be sealed, signed, and dated where the Texas engineering and architecture practice acts or the building official require it, and the structural upload is reserved for engineered, load-bearing, and fire-rated drawings.

Two Houston items catch many sets. Sites in the 100-year or 500-year floodplain need a mitigation plan sealed by a Texas professional engineer, and new buildings or additions on drilled piers, piles, or elevated foundations need a soil report. We check for both at intake so the stamped structural set and its attachments go in together.

Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio

Dallas Development Services points applicants to Section 301.4.7.3 of the city’s construction code administrative procedures and to the TBPELS flowchart to decide whether a seal is required, and civil engineering plans go through the DallasNow portal. Fort Worth takes building permits through Accela Citizen Access and requires all drawings to be resubmitted when you respond to plan review holds. Austin’s Development Services Department runs commercial plan review through the AB+C portal, wants the full plan set on every revision, and does not accept projects in the ETJ.

San Antonio’s Development Services Department takes commercial submittals online through BuildSA, starts with a completeness review of up to three business days, and lists required documents in Information Bulletin 103. Fire alarm and sprinkler plans have their own PE certification bulletins, and sites over the aquifer recharge zone get a SAWS review. We also cover El Paso, the Rio Grande Valley, and the rest of Texas. Choose Texas in the quote form and enter the city.

TDI windstorm and coastal Texas projects

On the coast, the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) windstorm program runs alongside the city permit. It covers Aransas, Brazoria, Calhoun, Cameron, Chambers, Galveston, Jefferson, Kenedy, Kleberg, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, and Willacy counties, plus cities in Harris County east of Highway 146 such as La Porte, Seabrook, and Shoreacres. A WPI-8 certificate of compliance is what makes a structure eligible for Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) coverage.

TDI expects the windstorm application to be filed before work starts, and since April 1, 2026, applications must be certified to the 2024 IRC or 2024 IBC. Inspections during construction are done by a TDI inspector or a TDI-appointed Texas PE. Tell us at intake if the site is in a designated catastrophe area so wind design and windborne debris protection are scoped before stamping.
