Permits and local rules

Inside the city of Irving, larger drywall, electrical and plumbing repairs can require permits from the City of Irving permit office. Homes in other cities, such as Grand Prairie, Coppell or Farmers Branch, follow the rules of that city or county.
Texas does not license biohazard cleanup companies, so ask about bloodborne pathogen training, insurance and how they dispose of waste.
