Talk with a mental health professional licensed in Texas, and if an emotional support animal is right for you, get your letter within 10-15 minutes of approval.
Dallas has one of the country's busiest apartment pipelines, and nearly every new lease-up charges pet rent on top of a deposit.
A valid letter from a Texas-licensed mental health professional is what turns a no-pet lease into an approved accommodation — no pet rent, no pet deposit, and no breed or weight limit.
Corporate-managed properties here usually have a formal reasonable accommodation process on file. Renters across Dallas — including Uptown, Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum, Lake Highlands and Plano — rely on the same federal protections, whatever the building looks like.
It starts with a free pre-screening, then a private telehealth visit with a Texas-licensed professional. Approved letters arrive within 10-15 minutes, and there’s no charge unless you’re approved.
Your letter is issued under the Fair Housing Act, which covers where you live — apartments, condos, HOAs, and student housing. It doesn’t grant public access to stores or restaurants, and airlines have treated emotional support animals as pets since 2021. For the full picture, read our Texas ESA law guide.

Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
Yes. The professional must hold an active Texas license, which is exactly who you're matched with when you select Dallas.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards, and co-ops, so community pet bans give way to a valid accommodation.
