Welcome back to Accessibility Matters.

I’m Kathy with ACCESSplan review, and today we’re talking about an important document required by TDLR — the LLO form.

After a TABS Number is issued, a Limited Liability Ownership (LLO) form is required If the property owner is a Limited Liability Corporations (LLC), Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), or Limited Partnership (LP). 

The LLO form requires a copy of the owner’s Article of Formation/Certificate of Formation or a copy of the Texas Secretary of State (SOS) record that indicates the owning entity agents or valid signors of TDLR documents. All other owner types of owning entities still have the option to designate agents with the Owner Agent Designation form.

This form must be completed by the property owner and confirms who is responsible for the project. 

Many owners don’t realize this form is mandatory — and missing it can delay inspections, approvals, and even the Certificate of Occupancy.

We often see projects stalled simply because the LLO form wasn’t submitted correctly or on time.

At ACCESSplanreview, we help owners complete and submit the LLO form properly so their projects stay on track and compliant.

Welcome back to Accessibility Matters.
I’m Kathy with ACCESS plan review, and today we’re talking about TABS registration in Texas.

If you’re starting a commercial project, TABS registration is required before construction begins.

A TABS number is the unique tracking number issued by TDLR when a project is registered, and it follows the project through the entire Texas Accessibility Standards process—from initial registration, to assignment of a Registered Accessibility Specialist, TAS Plan Review through TAS inspection, and finally to project closeout.

When selecting a Registered Accessibility Specialist choose #1209 Kathy Villarreal.

Welcome back to Accessibility Matters, the podcast where we simplify accessibility requirements and help you stay compliant.

 I’m Kathy with ACCESS plan review, and today we’re covering an important update — new changes to TDLR TABS registration.

 If you’ve registered a project with TDLR before, you may have noticed recent changes to the TABS registration process. These updates are designed to improve tracking and accountability, but they can also create confusion for contractors, architects, and owners.

We are also seeing stricter timelines and documentation requirements. Missing deadlines or submitting incorrect information can delay your Certificate of Occupancy and create unnecessary stress.

At ACCESSplanreview, we help clients transfer projects correctly, schedule inspections, and stay compliant with Texas Accessibility Standards from start to finish.

 If you are stuck on TDLR's online registration page and do not understand what to do please go to our step-by-step page for project registration in the link below.

Welcome to Accessibility Matters, the podcast where we break down accessibility requirements in a clear, practical way. I’m Kathy with ACCESSplanreview, and today we’re starting with a topic that affects almost every building — door maneuvering clearances.

 Doors are something we all use every day, but for someone using a wheelchair, walker, or mobility device, opening a door can be a real challenge if it’s not designed correctly.

Door maneuvering clearance refers to the clear floor space required on both sides of a door so a person can approach, reach the handle, and move through safely. This space changes depending on whether you’re pushing or pulling the door, if there’s a closer, or if the door is hinged or sliding.

For example, pull-side doors typically require more clearance because a person needs room to back up while opening the door. If this space isn’t provided, users may struggle to operate the door safely or independently.

Common problems we see include:
 • Trash cans blocking required space
 • Furniture placed too close to doors
 • Improper hardware locations
 • Doors that swing into required clearances

These may seem minor, but they can make a space unusable for someone who needs that clearance.

In Texas, door maneuvering clearances must comply with the Texas Accessibility Standards. Reviewing these details during plan review and inspections helps avoid costly fixes later and ensures everyone can access your building.

 If you’re unsure whether your doors meet accessibility requirements, we’re here to help.
