An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter is a legal document that allows individuals with a qualifying mental health condition to live and travel with their ESA without paying pet fees or deposits.
Under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), ESAs are not considered pets, and landlords cannot charge pet fees (which often range from $200–$500) or deny reasonable accommodation.
To be valid, an ESA letter must be written by a licensed mental health professional and include:
- The client’s name and date of birth
- Confirmation of a qualifying mental health condition
- A professional recommendation for an ESA, including a valid Texas license number
Some online services skip the evaluation process or don't connect you with a licensed provider — which may result in a letter that isn't legally recognized.

How can I determine if an ESA writing service is legit?
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.
Will an ESA letter work for University housing?
Will an ESA letter work for University housing?
Yes. We have written letters accepted by University housing programs. Some universities may need the therapist to add information into their own portal. We are happy to do that or to talk to your University administrator on your behalf. That's included in the price.
Reasons you may need an emotional support animal...
Housing: An ESA letter allows a person to live with their ESA in housing that has a no-pet policy or pet restrictions. Landlords cannot charge pet fees or evict a person for having an ESA. We also work with University housing administrators and can talk to them on your behalf.
Travel: An ESA letter can allow a person to travel with their ESA, but the airline's policy determines the specifics.
