Unless a building or community qualifies as housing for older persons, the owner or manager may not discriminate based on familial status.

Protection against discrimination based on familial status applies to:

• Families in which one or more children under age 18 live with
  • A parent
  • A person who has legal custody of the child or children
  • Designees of the parent or legal custodian, with parent or custodian’s written permission
• Anyone securing legal custody of a child under age 18
• Pregnant women

Housing for older persons is exempt from the prohibition against familial status discrimination if any of the following are true:

• It is specifically designed for and occupied by elderly persons under a Federal, State or local government program
• It is occupied solely by persons who are age 62 or older
• It houses at least one person who is age 55 or older in at least 80 percent of the occupied units, and adheres to a policy that demonstrates intent to house persons who are age 55 or older

  The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) coordinates the state emergency management program, which is intended to ensure the state and its local governments respond to and recover from emergencies and disasters, and implement plans and programs to help prevent or lessen the impact of emergencies and disasters.
