What must be included with all advertisements by inspectors?

In Texas, all advertisements by home inspectors must include the inspector's license number. This requirement serves several purposes. First, it enhances transparency and credibility, allowing potential clients to verify the inspector's qualifications through the state licensing board. Including the license number assures clients that they are engaging with a qualified professional who adheres to industry regulations and standards. It also helps to prevent fraudulent claims, ensuring that inspectors cannot misrepresent their qualifications.

While the inspector’s name is important to identify who is offering the inspection services, it is not sufficient on its own to confirm the legitimacy of the inspector’s credentials. A property address and inspection date are typically not required in advertisements, as these details pertain more to specific inspections rather than general promotional material. Therefore, including the license number is crucial for compliance with legal requirements and for maintaining the integrity of the profession.
