Texas has no OSHA-approved State Plan, so federal OSHA inspects private workplaces there, from its Austin Area Office, Corpus Christi Area Office, Dallas Area Office, El Paso Area Office, Fort Worth Area Office, Houston North Area Office, Houston South Area Office, Lubbock Area Office and San Antonio Area Office. Free on-site consultation, separate from enforcement: Texas OSHA Consultation (Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers Compensation). OSHA's list of State Plans.
