Frequently asked questions about Texas digital architect stamps and seals.
Once you are licensed in Texas, you can generate your seal here and download it immediately. Fill in the form and position your signature if you want one. The layout follows 22 TAC § 1.102 (Type and Design), which is the provision the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners will measure the seal against.
Texas’ architect stamp rule is 22 TAC § 1.102 (Type and Design), administered by the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners, a different body from the engineering board. The seal must carry “Registered Architect”, and no smaller than one and one-half (1.5) inches in diameter. The architect rule sets a floor and no ceiling — the inverse of the engineer rule.
A further 5 requirements, each tied to the subsection that imposes it, are itemised in the Texas requirements section on this page.
No smaller than one and one-half (1.5) inches in diameter. The architect rule sets a floor and no ceiling — the inverse of the engineer rule. This is set by 22 TAC § 1.102(b).
The Texas Board of Architectural Examiners. The architect's seal is prescribed by 22 TAC § 1.102, in Subchapter F of the architecture rules at Part 1 of Title 22 — a different part of the Administrative Code from Chapter 137, the engineering chapter administered by TBPELS at Part 6. Nearly every summary of "Texas seal requirements" hands the architect's rule to the engineering board, and because the two rules differ on both the design and the dimension, the mix-up produces a non-compliant stamp rather than a harmless citation error. (22 TAC § 1.102; 22 TAC Part 1, Chapter 1, Subchapter F)
No. The architect rule states a floor — the diameter shall be no smaller than one and one-half (1.5) inches — and no ceiling, which is the exact inverse of the engineer rule's "no larger than two inches in diameter" with no floor. 1.5 inches is the smallest a Texas architect may use, and there is nothing above it to breach. (22 TAC § 1.102(b); cf. 22 TAC § 137.31(b))
On the bottom arc. The sample seal in the rule reads "REGISTERED ARCHITECT" around the top of the outer band, the architect's name on the inner arc beneath it, a five-pointed star in the center, the registration number below the star, and "STATE OF TEXAS" around the bottom. The Board-authorized engineer seal is the other way round — state name on top, profession on the bottom — so a template borrowed from the engineering side has the two bands reversed. Note also that the architect is "REGISTERED" where the Texas engineer is "LICENSED". (22 TAC § 1.102(b); cf. 22 TAC § 137.31(b))
Yes, provided it reproduces. Section 1.102(c) lets the seal, the signature and the date of signing be affixed electronically or by any other means the architect selects, so nothing has to be applied by hand. The condition attached to all three is legibility on reproduction, and § 1.102(a) puts that test in its plainest form where it bars an impression or embossing seal: the seal must produce a clearly visible and legible image when the document is copied or reproduced. A blind emboss fails it, and so does a placed image that reads on screen but drops out when the sheet is copied or printed. (22 TAC § 1.102(a), (c))
A specific sentence. An architectural drawing or specification issued for a purpose other than regulatory approval, permitting or construction must carry the architect's name, the date it is issued including the month, day and year, and this statement in a conspicuous location: "Not for regulatory approval, permitting, or construction." An architect may not issue a regulated document at all unless it is either sealed, signed and dated, or labeled that way — the rule leaves no unmarked third category. (22 TAC § 1.103(b)(1); § 1.101)
