Everything Texans need to know about psychiatric service dog letters — your ADA public-access rights, air travel, and how to qualify online.
A psychiatric service dog comes with the strongest protections available.
A trained psychiatric service dog can go with you in stores, restaurants, and other public places under the ADA.
Your service dog is protected in housing, even in no-pet buildings, with no pet fees or deposits.
PSDs fly in the cabin at no charge. Airlines may ask for the DOT service animal form, which your letter supports.
Your letter confirms your condition and your dog's role, written to meet ADA standards.
An emotional support animal helps through comfort and is protected in housing only. A psychiatric service dog is trained to do specific tasks and gets full public access under the ADA.
If you only need housing protection, an ESA letter may be enough. If you need to bring your dog into public places or fly reliably, a PSD letter is the way to go. See a side-by-side breakdown on our pricing page.
