NFPA 96 Enforcement in Texas

The Texas State Fire Marshal's Office, a division of the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), enforces NFPA 96 compliance across the state. Texas adopts NFPA 96 through its state fire code, requiring all commercial kitchen exhaust systems to be cleaned, inspected, and maintained on schedule. Texas does not require a state-level license specifically for hood cleaning contractors, though companies must carry general liability insurance and provide compliance documentation. Fire inspectors review cleaning certificates and system access during inspections of food service establishments. Restaurants that fail to maintain NFPA 96 compliance risk citations, fines, mandatory re-inspections, and potential closure orders from local fire marshals. Texas allows municipalities to adopt fire codes that exceed state minimums — cities including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin enforce additional requirements through their local fire departments, with Houston being particularly active in commercial kitchen inspections due to its large restaurant industry. Working with a NFPA 96 compliant hood cleaning company ensures your documentation is always inspection-ready.
