An ESA letter is a legal document that allows a person with a mental health condition to live and travel with their emotional support animal (ESA). ESA's are not considered pets under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and landlords cannot charge pet fees or deposits for ESA's.
To be considered legitimate, an ESA letter must be written by a licensed mental health professional and must include:
- The patient's name and date of birth
- Confirmation of the patient's qualifying mental health disorder
- A recommendation for an emotional support animal
A licensed mental health professional MUST evaluate the patient's condition to verify a qualifying diagnosis before writing an ESA letter. Some online services are unable to connect you with a mental health professional.

How can I determine if an ESA writing service is legit?
When searching for an ESA letter provider you need to be cautious of scams. A valid ESA letter is written by a Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP) who has had a consultation with the requestor. Some sites offer a discount service where they instantly generate a letter.
The Fair Housing Act (FHA) and Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) specifically say that a legitimate ESA letter must be written by an LMHP. All of our therapists are licensed mental health providers in the State of Texas.
