Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Letters in Texas
Need official documentation for an emotional support animal? We provide legitimate, clinician-issued ESA letters for patients in Texas who meet the clinical criteria. At Adoration, your evaluation is conducted by a licensed psychiatric provider through a secure online appointment — no gimmicks, no fake registries, and no automated forms. Just professional mental health care with documentation you can trust.
What Is an ESA Letter — And Why You Might Need One
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter is a legal document written by a licensed mental health provider stating that your animal offers therapeutic benefit for a mental health condition. This letter can help you request reasonable accommodations in housing (even in pet-restricted properties) or support your needs during air travel.
ESA letters are often used to address symptoms related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other qualifying emotional or psychological concerns. At Adoration, we issue ESA letters only when clinically appropriate — following a professional psychiatric evaluation that meets Texas legal and ethical standards. If you qualify, you’ll receive a letter that meets current federal and housing law guidelines (including HUD compliance for housing accommodations).
ESA Evaluations Available Across Texas
We provide ESA evaluations through private, online appointments for patients in Austin, San Antonio, New Braunfels, San Marcos, and across the state. These evaluations are typically 45–60 minutes and include a review of your current symptoms, history, and emotional support needs. You'll speak directly with Dr. Kelly Richardson, DNP, PMHNP-BC, who will determine whether an ESA is appropriate as part of your care.
There’s no “quick letter” or template — we provide real, clinician-signed documentation, only when it meets professional standards. If approved, you’ll receive an official ESA letter in PDF format, suitable for landlords or airlines.
Who Qualifies for an ESA Letter in Texas?
You may qualify for an ESA letter if you experience ongoing emotional or psychological symptoms that significantly impact your daily life.
This often includes:
-
Generalized anxiety
-
Panic attacks
-
PTSD
-
Depression
-
Adjustment disorders
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Other mood-related conditions
We assess whether an ESA is an appropriate, stabilizing support for your mental health as part of a larger treatment plan. Our evaluations follow current diagnostic and ethical guidelines — we do not guarantee letters in advance.
Why It Matters to Work With a Legitimate Provider
There are many websites offering instant ESA letters — but most aren’t legal, valid, or backed by licensed providers. At Adoration, we provide real psychiatric care from a licensed, credentialed clinician. That means your letter holds up under review, meets federal guidelines, and supports your rights without putting you at risk of fraud or denial.
We also take the time to educate you about how to use your letter, when it’s valid, and what you can and can’t expect from landlords or travel providers.
ESA Letters for Housing and Travel
We issue ESA letters that meet the legal requirements under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) for reasonable housing accommodations. This allows you to request to live with your emotional support animal, even in housing that typically restricts pets.
For air travel, ESA letters may be used with certain carriers that still allow emotional support animals. However, many airlines now require animals to qualify as service animals under ADA guidelines. We’ll explain what’s currently valid, what’s not, and how to travel responsibly with your ESA documentation.
