IMPORTANT NOTICE: On 9/8/2025, the TDLR issued new requirements placed
on the owner to move forward on all active projects.

employees cannot sign on the Owner’s behalf without either the TDLR Owner Agent Designation Form or the TDLR Limited

● JKA has a 33-year history
Johnson Kelley has provided accessibility consulting services for the past 33 years and would welcome
the opportunity to visit with you to discuss the implications of the recent TDLR changes and 2012 ADA and/or the
impact it has had on TAS. We would also like to discuss our due diligence services prior to project renovations
and new property acquisitions of your firm or firm’s clients. Our clients find our reports beneficial in selling price
negotiations or at a minimum to help identify potential liabilities of acquired property ownership or the scope of
required accessibility work triggered by a renovation.

potential liabilities under the ADA that may result from acquiring older properties. Ultimately it is the current or

● Level of Experience
Johnson Kelley Associates has performed plan reviews and inspections for projects in Texas since 1995.
We got in on the ground floor of the State’s use of outside contractors to help administer the AB Program. Johnson
Kelley principals and inspection staff attend the TDLR Texas Accessibility Academy each year to receive the
latest information and interpretations from the TDLR regarding accessibility requirements. Prior to 1995 Jeff did
extensive consulting for ADA compliance leading up the 1992 ADA landmark Federal Civil Rights legislation.
● Essentials for Quick turnaround on Plan Reviews
We can provide the fastest review possible with a complete submittal. The TDLR requires us to have a
complete submission prior to performing the work. We recommend submitting your project in one package, if
possible. Sending drawing PDF files and required forms days apart or information in various emails can delay the
start of our review. Submit to: project.submit@johnsonkelley.com
● Preferred Inspection Scheduling
The TDLR requires a post-construction inspection within one year of the project’s completion, and we
work closely with our clients to schedule timely inspections. We prefer to be onsite as soon after substantial
completion as possible so if you do not hear from us send us an email to get things started.
inspection.submit@johnsonkelley.com
● $10.00 Gift Card Program
We realize you have a choice in your accessibility consultant and offer a gift card or our charity donation
when both the plan review and inspection fees are paid at the time of submission for plan review. Our clients
take advantage of this offer individually or as a group to promote company morale.
