Texas Hood Cleaning Requirements
NFPA 96 compliance requirements and local fire code obligations for commercial kitchen hood cleaning in Texas.
Texas-Specific Requirements
Texas adopts NFPA 96 via the Texas Fire Code (based on the International Fire Code).
Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio have distinct local fire marshal documentation requirements.
Service tags must be affixed to the hood system after every professional cleaning.
Texas does not require a state contractor license for hood cleaning, but IKECA certification is strongly recommended.
⚠ Important Note
Texas leaves significant enforcement authority to local jurisdictions. Always contact your city fire marshal to confirm local requirements.
