The Dam Safety Program monitors and regulates both private and
public dams in Texas. The program periodically inspects dams that
pose a high or significant hazard and makes recommendations and
reports to dam owners to help them maintain safe facilities.
This page links to Texas regulations on dams, manuals on dam
safety, and forms used by the program. Some files linked from this
page are in Portable Document Format (PDF). (Help with PDF.)
