Mold definition

Mold grows where moisture is present, so leaks, floods, and high humidity are common causes. A license holder should disclose known material facts and refer diagnosis and remediation to qualified professionals.

Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1958 regulates mold assessment and remediation. Section 1958.102 contains exemptions, including the under-25-contiguous-square-foot threshold and a limited 2025 owner or managing-agent provision.

On the exam

The 25-square-foot figure is a Texas licensing threshold, not a statement that a small mold area is harmless.
