Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Tex. Gov't Code § 2306.922, any property owner or manager who provides housing specifically designated as a migrant labor housing facility must secure a license from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs before opening or continuing operations. Compliant operators typically apply for and renew this license as required, keep documentation of licensure on-site, and ensure the facility remains in compliance with all associated departmental requirements. Operating without this license exposes an owner or operator to potential regulatory action by the department.

Tex. Gov't Code § 2306.922 means that any migrant labor housing facility where you reside should be operating under a valid state license issued by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. If a facility appears to be unlicensed, residents may have the option of reporting the situation to the department directly or reaching out to a tenant-rights or farmworker-advocacy organization for guidance on available remedies. Knowing whether a facility holds a current license can be an important factor when evaluating housing conditions and available protections.
