INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION · TEXAS LODGING · VETERAN-FOUNDED
Wherever you’re starting from, the gap is the same.
Texas requires approved training and posted signage. Some properties have both, some have neither, and most are somewhere in between. It doesn’t change the question. Nothing you hold has been examined by anyone outside your building — and that is the file an inspector, an underwriter, and a plaintiff’s attorney will each ask you for.
WHEREVER YOU’RE STARTING FROM
Five starting points.
Everyone of them ends the same way.
Nothing yet
Nothing to show
The free state training
That training happened
Certificates on file
That a course was completed
A brand or corporate program
That a standard was set
Your own checklist
That you looked
Not one of them is independent. An independent examination is the row that isn’t on this list — and it is the one an underwriter asks for.
