Environmental Public Health Division
Compliance Services SectionThe Compliance Services Section's goal is to assure that all documented violations
of Texas health and environmental laws and regulations are resolved. Most violations found by EPH Investigators
are resolved through notification of the violation and education of the laws and
regulations being violated.Persistent and substantial
violations can result in the issuance of a citation or a civil or criminal lawsuit being filed
through
the County Attorney’s Office or the District Attorney’s Office.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when I am inspected by an EPH
investigator and found to be in violation?
The investigator will explain what law or regulation you violated. You
should immediately cease the violation. You will be given a Citation or
Violation Notice or may receive a Violation Notice in the mail.
If given a Citation to appear at County Justice of
the Peace Court you must do so. If you are given a Violation Notice it
will explain what you were doing that violated the law, and exactly what
law you violated. The Violation Notice will state that you have 10 days
to respond. This should be a written response and can be mailed to:
EPH
P.O. Box 6031
Pasadena, Texas 77506
You can also e-mail the Violation Notice
reply to
Pollution_Control@hcphes.org or fax it to
(713) 477-8963.
If for some reason you cannot send a written
response or you miss the 10-day deadline, call and speak to the
Investigator. Give the Investigator a verbal response or ask for an
extension. Your response is very important in the decision as to the
ultimate disposition of your case.
