An independent site. Not the Commission, not an environmental assessment, and not a background-check service.
What this site is
An independent search layer over two public files. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or the State of Texas. No TCEQ logo or mark appears anywhere on it.
This is not an environmental site assessment. It reports that a case exists in a public file and whether that file records a closure date. A phase i environmental site assessment under astm e1527 — the search required by the federal all appropriate inquiries rule (40 cfr part 312) before a buyer can claim the landowner liability protections that cercla offers is a different exercise, carried out by a qualified environmental professional, and nothing here substitutes for it.
Our copy is dated 2026-08-21; the Commission updates its leak file daily. For anything a transaction depends on, use the Commission’s own records.
⚠️ Not a consumer reporting agency
This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.), and nothing published or sold here is a consumer report.
You may not use this site, its pages, its search, its API or any dataset obtained from it, in whole or in part, as a factor in deciding a person's eligibility for:
- employment, promotion, reassignment or retention;
- credit or insurance underwriting;
- housing or tenancy;
- any other purpose covered by the FCRA.
Verifying that a licence exists, directly with the issuing authority, is a different act from screening a person — and where a decision about someone depends on it, the check belongs with a screening company that operates as a consumer reporting agency and carries the obligations that come with it.
Having your record removed
If you are named on this site and would rather not be, write to us and we will remove you. You do not have to explain why, and we will not ask.
Two things this cannot do, and we say so plainly rather than let you find out later: it does not change the official register, which is where the record actually lives; and it does not remove you from anyone else's copy of the same public data.
The sources, and what they require
This site republishes public registers. Source by source: the licence it is published under, and the condition its publisher sets — read from the publisher's own terms page, on the date shown.
| Source | Licence | What the publisher requires |
|---|---|---|
| Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank (LPST) Sites — Texas Commission on Environmental Quality | Public domain (TCEQ site policy) | The Commission's own website policy states that « TCEQ publications are not copyrighted, and you may download and reproduce them yourself as long as you don't alter the content », and that unless otherwise noted its site content is « considered public domain ». It asks two things of re-users: that access to the material not be charged for, and that it be acknowledged and linked in the proper context. One thing is expressly reserved — the TCEQ logo, which is the intellectual property of the agency and of the State of Texas, and which appears nowhere on this site. — Terms read on 2026-08-21, terms |
| Petroleum Storage Tank (PST) Delivery Certificates — Texas Commission on Environmental Quality | Public domain (TCEQ site policy) | Same policy as the LPST file, from the same agency: reproduce without altering the content, do not charge for access, acknowledge the source, and do not use the TCEQ logo. Note also what the Commission says about the file itself — it records delivery certificates, one row per tank and product, which is why 69,143 rows describe 43,273 physical tanks. — Terms read on 2026-08-21, terms |
Errors
If a page here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. If the underlying record is wrong we cannot fix that — it has to be corrected with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and our copy follows at the next collection.
