Who enforces in Texas

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.
