Environmental Consulting Capabilities

Company overview

Texas State Environmental Consulting, LLC (TSEC) is a minority-owned environmental consulting firm founded in September 2013. We were built around a simple idea: clients get better outcomes when one experienced consultant manages a project end to end, instead of being passed between departments.

Our team includes licensed asbestos consultants, inspectors, air monitoring technicians, and project managers who work statewide — from single-family homes to school districts, multifamily portfolios, and commercial facilities. We communicate with clients and occupants in English and Spanish, and every report is written to be usable by the regulator, the contractor, and the property owner alike.

Core services

• Pre-Renovation & Demolition Surveys — Building inspections and bulk sampling before renovation or demolition disturbs materials, scoped to your project and formatted for the permit office.
• Asbestos Consulting — Surveys, AHERA school inspections and management plans, O&M programs, and regulatory notifications.
• Abatement Design & Specifications — Project-specific scope, containment, work practices, waste handling, and bid documents contractors can price from directly.
• Air Monitoring & Clearance — Third-party monitoring during abatement, final visual inspection, and clearance sampling that releases the work area.
• Mold Assessment & Protocol Development — Independent TDLR-licensed assessment, written remediation protocols, and post-remediation verification.
• Lead-Based Paint Consulting — Inspections, risk assessments, abatement specifications, clearance dust sampling, and TCLP waste characterization.
• In-House PCM Analysis — Our own DSHS-licensed phase-contrast microscopy laboratory, with AIHA PAT proficiency testing.
• Compliance & Project Support — Notifications, submittal review, contractor coordination, phased-access planning, and closeout documentation.

Complex project logistics

Small enough that the consultant who quotes your job is the one who shows up; experienced enough to run the ones that don't fit a checklist.

• Phased and unit-by-unit clearance on occupied and partially occupied properties
• Multi-floor and vertically sequenced work areas
• Secured and access-controlled facilities, coordinated with facility management
• Active buildings where operations continue during the work
• Access scheduling with general contractors and property management
• Work sequenced against the construction schedule rather than our own
• Consolidated closeout documentation across many work areas or units

Industries served

• School districts & universities — AHERA inspections, management plans, and renovation support.
• Cities, counties & public agencies — Surveys and abatement design for public works and municipal facilities.
• General contractors — Pre-construction surveys, specs, and air monitoring that keep projects on schedule.
• Multifamily & property management — Portfolio-wide asbestos, lead, and mold programs with consistent reporting.
• Homeowners & real estate — Testing and assessments for renovations, purchases, sales, and insurance claims.
• Healthcare & institutional facilities — Careful, occupied-building consulting where downtime is not an option.

Laboratory capability

TSEC holds a Texas DSHS Asbestos Laboratory license for phase-contrast microscopy (PCM). Air samples collected during abatement and at clearance are analyzed by our own analysts rather than handed to an outside laboratory, which removes courier logistics and an outside queue from the critical path.

Our laboratory participates in proficiency testing programs sponsored by unbiased, third-party industry organizations. That participation helps ensure we meet or exceed current industry quality and performance standards for the analysis of asbestos.

“When you call TSEC you get me — the licensed consultant who walks your building, pulls the samples, writes the report, and picks up the phone when the permit office has a question. That's how I've run this firm since 2013, and it's why contractors and districts keep calling back.”
