Handicap Space Marking in Dallas, TX

The required number depends on your lot's total stall count. Texas ADA guidelines require one accessible space per 25 total spaces for lots up to 100 stalls, and at least one of every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible.

A compliant space includes the International Symbol of Accessibility painted on the stall surface and a striped access aisle with diagonal hash lines. Van-accessible spaces also require a wider access aisle and a separate van-accessible designation.

No, painted symbols alone do not meet ADA or Texas standards. Each accessible space also requires a vertical sign mounted at least 60 inches above the ground displaying the International Symbol of Accessibility.

Yes, faded or incorrectly proportioned markings can make your reserved spaces unenforceable under Texas law. Spaces that do not meet current marking standards may not be legally protected against unauthorized parking.

Yes, seal coating or asphalt repairs cover existing markings, so all accessible spaces must be restriped to current standards afterward. Striping USA can reapply compliant handicap markings after any surface work is completed.

Compliance is enforced at both the federal level under the ADA and at the state level by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Non-compliance can result in federal fines and private litigation.
