Your application paperwork

The Texas Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program tracks childhood lead exposure and arranges a home lead assessment when a child is found to have lead poisoning. Your doctor or public health nurse starts the request, and a state-licensed risk assessor visits your home through your local health department to find lead hazards.

Steps to apply

  1. Have young children in the home tested for lead by your doctor or local health department.
  2. Contact the program through the official page or your local health department (call 888-588-1248).
  3. Ask for a home lead inspection or risk assessment for your pre-1978 home, especially if a child has an elevated blood lead level.
  4. Work with the program on the lead hazard reduction or abatement steps it identifies; income-eligible families often pay nothing.

  • A government-issued photo ID.
