The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is now providing an opportunity for the public to receive notice of permit applications by email , based on Sunset recommendations supported by the 88th Legislature.
Individuals can fill out an online form to receive email notices by permit number, county, or ZIP code. Individuals who comment on a permit application will continue to receive formal notices by mail. Certain members of the public who are not required to receive formal notices may request to be removed from the formal mailing list and elect to receive only emailed notices.
The option to receive notices of permit applications by email is a part of the TCEQ Commissioners’ Integrated Database (CID). Prior to this, the public only had the opportunity to receive notices for a specific permit or an entire county.
