Notices to terminate may be given on any calendar day, irrespective of
Commencement Date. Rent shall continue at the rate specified in this Texas
Lease Agreement, or as allowed by law. All other terms and conditions as
outlined in this Texas Lease Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Time
is of the essence for providing notice of termination (strict compliance with dates
by which notice must be provided is required).
III. Rental Payments. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of ,675.00 per month
as Rent and (for water, sewer, trash, and landscaping) for the Term of the
Agreement. Due date for Rent payment shall be the 1 st day of each calendar
Page 1 of 11
ASVALO
DocID:2f0e3d7c821072431858e02ca401d0442decdb78
month and shall be considered advance payment for that month. Weekends and
holidays do not delay or excuse Tenant's obligation to timely pay rent.
a) Delinquent Rent. If not paid on the 1 st, Rent shall be considered
overdue and delinquent on the 2nd day of each calendar month. If
Tenant fails to timely pay any month's rent, Tenant will pay
Landlord a late charge of 10% of rent and $10 per day until rent is
paid in full. If Landlord receives the monthly rent by the 3rd day of
the month, Landlord will waive the late charges for that month. Any
waiver of late charges under this paragraph will not affect or
diminish any other right or remedy Landlord may exercise for
Tenant's failure to timely pay rent.
b) Prorated Rent. In the event that the Commencement Date is not the
1 st of the calendar month, Rent payment remitted on the
Commencement Date shall be prorated based on a 30-day period.
c) Returned Checks. In the event that any payment by Tenant is
returned for insufficient funds ("NSF") or if Tenant stops payment,
Tenant will pay $75 to Landlord for each such check, plus late
charges, as described above, until Landlord has received payment.
Furthermore, Landlord may require in writing that Tenant pay all
future Rent payments by cash, money order, or cashier's check.
d) Order in which funds are applied. Landlord will apply all funds
received from Tenant first to any non-rent obligations of Tenant
including late charges, returned check charges, charge-backs for
repairs, brokerage fees, and periodic utilities, then to rent,
regardless of any notations on a check.
e) Rent Increases. There will be no rent increases through the
Termination Date. If this lease is renewed automatically on a month
to month basis, Landlord may increase the rent during the renewal
period by providing written notice to Tenant that becomes effective
the month following the 30t" day after the notice is provided
IV. Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Texas Lease Agreement, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord the sum of ,550.00 , receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged by Landlord, as security for any damage caused to the Premises
during the term hereof.
V. Refund of Security Deposit. Upon termination of the tenancy, all funds held by
the landlord as security deposit may be applied to the payment of accrued rent
and the amount of damages that the landlord has suffered by reason of the
tenant's noncompliance with the terms of this Texas Lease Agreement or with
any and all laws, ordinances, rules and orders of any and all governmental or
Page 2 of 11
ASVALO
DocID:2f0e3d7c821072431858e02ca401d0442decdb78
quasi-governmental authorities affecting the cleanliness, use, occupancy and
preservation of the Premises.
VI. Use of Premises. The Premises shall be used and occupied solely by Tenant
and Tenant's immediate family, consisting of:
exclusively, as a private single family dwelling, and no part of the Premises shall
be used at any time during the term of this Texas Lease Agreement by Tenant for
the purpose of carrying on any business, profession, or trade of any kind, or for
any purpose other than as a private single family dwelling. Tenant shall not allow
any other person, other than Tenant's immediate family or transient relatives and
friends who are guests of Tenant, to use or occupy the Premises without first
obtaining Landlord's written consent to such use. Tenant shall comply with any
and all laws, ordinances, rules and orders of any and all governmental or quasi-
governmental authorities affecting the cleanliness, use, occupancy and
preservation of the Premises.
VII. Condition of Premises. Tenant stipulates, represents and warrants that Tenant
has examined the Premises, and that they are at the time of this Lease in good
order, repair, and in a safe, clean and tenantable condition.
VIII. Assignment and Sub-Letting. Tenant shall not assign this Texas Lease
Agreement, or sub-let or grant any license to use the Premises or any part
thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord. A consent by Landlord to
one such assignment, sub-letting or license shall not be deemed to be a consent
to any subsequent assignment, sub-letting or license. An assignment, sub-letting
or license without the prior written consent of Landlord or an assignment or sub-
letting by operation of law shall be absolutely null and void and shall, at
Landlord's option, terminate this Texas Lease Agreement.
IX. Alterations and Improvements. Tenant shall make no alterations to the
buildings or improvements on the Premises or construct any building or make
any other improvements on the Premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord. Any and all alterations, changes, and/or improvements built,
constructed or placed on the Premises by Tenant shall, unless otherwise
provided by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, be and become
the property of Landlord and remain on the Premises at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Texas Lease Agreement.
X. Non-Delivery of Possession. In the event Landlord cannot deliver possession
of the Premises to Tenant upon the commencement of the Lease term, through
no fault of Landlord or its agents, then Landlord or its agents shall have no
liability, but the rental herein provided shall abate until possession is given.
Landlord or its agents shall have thirty (30) days in which to give possession, and
if possession is tendered within such time, Tenant agrees to accept the demised
Page 3 of 11
ASVALO
DocID:2f0e3d7c821072431858e02ca401d0442decdb78
Premises and pay the rental herein provided from that date. In the event
possession cannot be delivered within such time, through no fault of Landlord or
its agents, then this Texas Lease Agreement and all rights hereunder shall
terminate.
XI. Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not keep on the Premises any item of a
dangerous, flammable or explosive character that might unreasonably increase
the danger of fire or explosion on the Premises or that might be considered
hazardous or extra hazardous by any responsible insurance company.
XII. Utilities. Tenant shall be responsible for arranging for and paying for all utility
services required on the Premises.
XIII. Renter's Insurance
Renter's Insurance Required. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
obtain and maintain renter's insurance throughout the entire term of this Texas
Lease Agreement and any renewal or holdover period. The renter's insurance
policy must include personal liability coverage with minimum limits of $100,000
and coverage for Tenant's personal property.
Default Insurance Enrollment. IF TENANT FAILS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF
RENTER'S INSURANCE PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY OR AT ANY TIME DURING
THE LEASE TERM, LANDLORD SHALL AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDE AND
MAINTAIN A LANDLORD-SELECTED LIABILITY-ONLY RENTER'S
INSURANCE POLICY ON TENANT'S BEHALF, AND TENANT AGREES TO
PAY THE COST OF SUCH COVERAGE AS ADDITIONAL RENT. THIS
LANDLORD-PROVIDED POLICY DOES NOT INSURE TENANT'S PERSONAL
PROPERTY AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR FULL RENTER'S INSURANCE.
The renter's insurance policy must name Landlord and/or Landlord's property
manager as an Additional Interested Party. Tenant must provide proof of
coverage prior to occupancy and upon request by Landlord. Failure to provide
proof does not waive Tenant's obligation to maintain coverage.
Landlord does not provide insurance coverage for Tenant's personal property
and shall not be liable for loss or damage to Tenant's personal belongings for
any reason, including fire, water damage, theft, vandalism, weather events, or
acts of others.
Failure to obtain or maintain renter's insurance as required under this paragraph
constitutes a material breach of this Texas Lease Agreement.
Page 4 of 11
ASVALO
DocID:2f0e3d7c821072431858e02ca401d0442decdb78
Insurance Non-Compliance Fee. If Tenant fails to maintain renter's insurance as
required, Tenant shall pay a monthly non-compliance fee of $25, which shall be
considered additional rent, until proof of coverage is provided.
XIV. Maintenance, Repair, and Rules. Tenant will, at its sole expense, keep and
maintain the Premises and appurtenances in good and sanitary condition and
repair during the term of this Texas Lease Agreement and any renewal thereof.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall:

Premises and at all places on the Premises, and shall not make or

I) Abide by and be bound by any and all rules and regulations
affecting the Premises or the common area appurtenant thereto

Homeowners' Association having control over them.
XV. Damage to Premises. In the event the Premises are destroyed or rendered
wholly uninhabitable by fire, storm, earthquake, or other casualty not caused by
the negligence of Tenant, this Texas Lease Agreement shall terminate from such
time except for the purpose of enforcing rights that may have then accrued
hereunder. The rental provided for herein shall then be accounted for by and
between Landlord and Tenant up to the time of such injury or destruction of the
Premises, Tenant paying rentals up to such date and Landlord refunding rentals
collected beyond such date. Should a portion of the Premises thereby be
rendered uninhabitable, the Landlord shall have the option of either repairing
such injured or damaged portion or terminating this Lease. In the event that
Landlord exercises its right to repair such uninhabitable portion, the rental shall
abate in the proportion that the injured parts bears to the whole Premises, and
such part so injured shall be restored by Landlord as speedily as practicable,
after which the full rent shall recommence and the Texas Lease Agreement
continue according to its terms. Tenant remains liable for all damage caused by
Tenant, occupants, or guests regardless of insurance coverage or lack thereof.

sign on the Property during the term of this Lease or any renewal period.
If Tenant fails to permit reasonable access under this Paragraph, Tenant will be
in default.
XVII. Subordination of Lease. This Texas Lease Agreement and Tenant's interest
hereunder are and shall be subordinate, junior and inferior to any and all
mortgages, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter placed on the Premises by
Landlord, all advances made under any such mortgages, liens or encumbrances
including, but not limited to, future advances), the interest payable on such
Page 6 of 11
ASVALO
DocID:2f0e3d7c821072431858e02ca401d0442decdb78
mortgages, liens or encumbrances and any and all renewals, extensions or
modifications of such mortgages, liens or encumbrances.
XVIII. Tenant's Hold Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises with the
consent of Landlord after the natural expiration of this Texas Lease Agreement, a
new tenancy from month-to-month shall be created between Landlord and
Tenant which shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof except
that rent shall then be due and owing at $200 above current rent per month and
except that such tenancy shall be terminable upon fifteen (15) days written notice
served by either party.
XIX. Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration of the term hereof, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises in as good a state and condition as they were at the
commencement of this Texas Lease Agreement, reasonable use and wear and
tear thereof and damages by the elements excepted.

written Pet Addendum to this Residential Lease Agreement. Tenant shall not
permit any animal, including mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, rodents, or insects on
the property, even temporarily, unless otherwise agreed by a separate written Pet
Agreement. If tenant violates the pet restrictions of this Lease, Tenant will pay to
Landlord a fee of $25 per day per animal for each day Tenant violates the animal
restrictions as additional rent for any unauthorized animal. Landlord may remove
or cause to be removed any unauthorized animal and deliver it to appropriate
local authorities by providing at least 24-hour written notice to Tenant of
Landlord's intention to remove the unauthorized animal. Landlord will not be
liable for any harm, injury, death, or sickness to any unauthorized animal. Tenant
is responsible and liable for any damage or required cleaning to the Property
caused by any unauthorized animal and for all costs Landlord may incur in
removing or causing any unauthorized animal to be removed.

separate written Waterbed Addendum to this Residential Lease Agreement.
XXII. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, upon payment of all of the sums referred to herein as
being payable by Tenant and Tenant's performance of all Tenant's agreements
contained herein and Tenant's observance of all rules and regulations, shall and
may peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy said Premises for the term
hereof.
XXIII. Indemnification. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury of or to the
Tenant, Tenant's family, guests, invitees, agents or employees or to any person

Page 7 of 11
ASVALO
DocID:2f0e3d7c821072431858e02ca401d0442decdb78
Tenant's indemnification obligations survive termination of this Texas Lease
Agreement and are not limited by the existence or limits of any insurance
coverage.
XXIV. Default. If Landlord breaches this Lease, Tenant may seek any relief provided by
law. If Tenant fails to comply with any of the material provisions of this Texas
Lease Agreement, other than the covenant to pay rent, or of any present rules

materially fails to comply with any duties imposed on Tenant by statute, within
seven (7) days after delivery of written notice by Landlord specifying the
noncompliance and indicating the intention of Landlord to terminate the Lease by
reason thereof, Landlord may terminate this Texas Lease Agreement. If Tenant
fails to pay rent when due and the default continues for seven (7) days thereafter,
Landlord may, at Landlord's option, declare the entire balance of rent payable
hereunder to be immediately due and payable and may exercise any and all
rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity or may immediately
terminate this Texas Lease Agreement. Failure to maintain renter's insurance as
required under this Lease constitutes a material non-monetary default.
XXV. Abandonment. If at any time during the term of this Texas Lease Agreement
Tenant abandons the Premises or any part thereof, Landlord may, at Landlord's
option, obtain possession of the Premises in the manner provided by law, and
without becoming liable to Tenant for damages or for any payment of any kind
whatever. Landlord may, at Landlord's discretion, as agent for Tenant, re-let the
Premises, or any part thereof, for the whole or any part thereof, for the whole or
any part of the then unexpired term, and may receive and collect all rent payable
by virtue of such re-letting, and, at Landlord's option, hold Tenant liable for any
difference between the rent that would have been payable under this Texas
Lease Agreement during the balance of the unexpired term, if this Texas Lease
Agreement had continued in force, and the net rent for such period realized by
Landlord by means of such re-letting. If Landlord's right of reentry is exercised
following abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, then Landlord shall consider
any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises to also have
been abandoned, in which case Landlord may dispose of all such personal
property in any manner Landlord shall deem proper and Landlord is hereby
relieved of all liability for doing so.
XXVI. Attorneys' Fees. Should it become necessary for Landlord to employ an
attorney to enforce any of the conditions or covenants hereof, including the
collection of rentals or gaining possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay
all expenses so incurred, including a reasonable attorneys' fee.
XXVII. Recording of Texas Lease Agreement. Tenant shall not record this Texas
Lease Agreement on the Public Records of any public office. In the event that

to all rights and remedies that it has at law or in equity.
XXVIII. Governing Law. This Texas Lease Agreement shall be governed,
construed and interpreted by, through and under the Laws of the State of Texas.
XXIX. Severability. If any provision of this Texas Lease Agreement or the application
thereof shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable,
neither the remainder of this Texas Lease Agreement nor the application of the
provision to other persons, entities or circumstances shall be affected thereby,
but instead shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
XXX. Binding Effect. The covenants, obligations and conditions herein contained
shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives,

obligations, and liabilities hereunder.
XXXIV. Modification. The parties hereby agree that this document contains the
entire agreement between the parties and this Texas Lease Agreement shall not
be modified, changed, altered or amended in any way except through a written
amendment signed by all of the parties hereto.

XXXVI. Lead-Based Paint Disclosure. If the premises were constructed prior to
1978, Tenant acknowledges receipt of the form entitled "LEAD-BASED PAINT
DISCLOSURE" which contains disclosure of information on lead-based paint
and/or lead-based paint hazards.
XXXVII. Special Conditions. Pursuant to Sec. 92.016 Tenants may have special
statutory rights to terminate the lease early in certain situations involving family
violence or a military deployment or transfer.
XXXVIII. Responsibilities of Landlord. We'll act with customary diligence to:
1) keep common areas reasonably clean, subject to paragraph 25;
2) maintain fixtures, hot water, heating, and A/C equipment;
3) substantially comply with all applicable laws regarding safety, sanitation, and
fair housing; and
4) make all reasonable repairs, subject to your obligation to pay for damages for
which you are liable.
If we violate any of the above, you may possibly terminate this Lease Contract
and exercise other remedies under Property Code Section 92.056 by
following this procedure:
a) All rent must be current and you must make a written request for repair
or remedy of the condition--after which we'll have a reasonable time
for repair or remedy;
b) If we fail to do so, you must make a second written request for the
repair or remedy (to make sure that there has been no
miscommunication between us) after which we'll have a reasonable
time for the repair or remedy; and
c) If the repair or remedy still hasn't been accomplished within that
reasonable time period, you may immediately terminate this Lease
Contract by giving us a final written notice. You also may exercise
other statutory remedies, including those under Property Code
Section 92.0561.
Instead of giving the two written requests referred to above, you may give us one
request by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by registered mail--after
which we will have a reasonable time for repair or remedy. "Reasonable time"
takes into account the nature of the problem and the reasonable availability of
materials, labor, and utilities. Your rent must be current at the time of any
request. We will refund security deposits and prorated rent as required by law.
XXXIX. Parking Rules. Tenant may not permit more than 2 vehicles, including but
not limited to 2 automobiles, trucks, recreational vehicles, trailers, motorcycles,
all-terrain vehicles, jet skis, and boats, on the Property unless authorized by

from Lead Hazards
If you think your home has lead-based paint:
Don't try to remove lead-based paint yourself.
Always keep painted surfaces in good condition to minimize
deterioration.

inspector or risk assessor at epa.gov/lead.
Talk to your landlord about fixing surfaces with peeling or
chipping paint.
Regularly clean floors, window sills, and other surfaces.
Take precautions to avoid exposure to lead dust when
remodeling.
When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state-
approved Lead-Safe certified renovation firms.

Adults and children can get lead into their bodies if they:
Breathe in lead dust (especially during activities such as renovations,
repairs, or painting that disturb painted surfaces).
Swallow lead dust that has settled on food, food preparation surfaces,
and other places.
Eat paint chips or soil that contains lead.
Lead is especially dangerous to children under the age of 6.
At this age, children's brains
and nervous systems are
more sensitive to the
damaging effects of lead.
Children's growing bodies
absorb more lead.
Babies and young children
often put their hands
and other objects in their
mouths. These objects can
have lead dust on them. fl
Women of childbearing age should know that lead is dangerous to
a developing fetus.
Women with a high lead level in their system before or during
pregnancy risk exposing the fetus to lead through the placenta
during fetal development.

months of age, and tend to peak at 18 to 24 months of age.
Consult your doctor for advice on testing your children. A simple blood
test can detect lead. Blood lead tests are usually recommended for:
Children at ages 1 and 2
Children or other family members who have been exposed to high
levels of lead
Children who should be tested under your state or local health
screening plan
Your doctor can explain what the test results mean and if more
testing will be needed.

In general, the older your home or childcare facility, the more likely it
has lead-based paint.'
Many homes, including private, federally-assisted, federally-
owned housing, and childcare facilities built before 1978 have
lead-based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer
uses of lead-containing paint.z
Learn how to determine if paint is lead-based paint on page 7.
Lead can be found:
In homes and childcare facilities in the city, country, or suburbs,
In private and public single-family homes and apartments,
On surfaces inside and outside of the house, and
In soil around a home. (Soil can pick up lead from exterior paint or
other sources, such as past use of leaded gas in cars.)
Learn more about where lead is found at epa.gov/lead.
Lead-based paint" is currently defined by the federal government as paint with
lead levels greater than or equal to 1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2), or
more than 0.5% by weight.
z"Lead-containing paint" is currently defined by the federal government as lead in new
dried paint in excess of 90 parts per million (ppm) by weight.

Hazards
Deteriorated lead-based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking,
cracking, or damaged paint) is a hazard and needs immediate
attention. Lead-based paint may also be a hazard when found on
surfaces that children can chew or that get a lot of wear and tear,
such as:
On windows and window sills
Doors and door frames
Stairs, railings, banisters, and porches
Lead-based paint is usually not a hazard if it is in good condition
and if it is not on an impact or friction surface like a window.
Lead dust can form when lead-based paint is scraped, sanded, or
heated. Lead dust also forms when painted surfaces containing
lead bump or rub together. Lead paint chips and dust can get on
surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter
the air when the home is vacuumed or swept, or when people walk
through it. EPA currently defines the following levels of lead in dust as
hazardous:
10 micrograms per square foot (g/ft2) and higher for floors,
including carpeted floors
100 µg/ft2 and higher for interior window sills
Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when
people bring soil into the house on their shoes. EPA currently defines
the following levels of lead in soil as hazardous:
400 parts per million (ppm) and higher in play areas of bare soil
1,200 ppm (average) and higher in bare soil in the remainder
of the yard
Remember, lead from paint chips—which you can see—and lead
dust—which you may not be able to see—both can be hazards.
The only way to find out if paint, dust, or soil lead hazards exist is to
test for them. The next page describes how to do this. 6

You can get your home tested for lead in several different ways:
A lead-based paint inspection tells you if your home has lead-
based paint and where it is located. It won't tell you whether your
home currently has lead hazards. A trained and certified testing
professional, called a lead-based paint
inspector, will conduct a paint inspection
using methods, such as:
Portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) machine
Lab tests of paint samples
A risk assessment tells you if your home
currently has any lead hazards from lead
in paint, dust, or soil. It also tells you what
actions to take to address any hazards. A
trained and certified testing professional,
called a risk assessor, will:
1
Sample paint that is deteriorated on doors, windows, floors, stairs,
and walls
Sample dust near painted surfaces and sample bare soil in the
ya rd
Get lab tests of paint, dust, and soil samples
A combination inspection and risk assessment tells you if your home
has any lead-based paint and if your home has any lead hazards, and
where both are located.
Be sure to read the report provided to you after your inspection or risk
assessment is completed, and ask questions about anything you do not
understand.

In preparing for renovation, repair, or painting work in a pre-1978
home, Lead-Safe Certified renovators (see page 12) may:
Take paint chip samples to determine if lead-based paint is
present in the area planned for renovation and send them to an
EPA-recognized lead lab for analysis. In housing receiving federal
assistance, the person collecting these samples must be a certified
lead-based paint inspector or risk assessor
Use EPA-recognized tests kits to determine if lead-based paint is
absent (but not in housing receiving federal assistance)
Presume that lead-based paint is present and use lead-safe work
practices
There are state and federal programs in place to ensure that testing is
done safely, reliably, and effectively. Contact your state or local agency
for more information, visit epa.gov/lead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD

If you suspect that your house has lead-based paint hazards, you
can take some immediate steps to reduce your family's risk:
If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.
Keep painted surfaces clean and free of dust. Clean floors, window
frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop or sponge
with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner. (Remember:
never mix ammonia and bleach products together because they can
form a dangerous gas.)
Carefully clean up paint chips immediately without creating dust.
Thoroughly rinse sponges and mop heads often during cleaning of
dirty or dusty areas, and again afterward.
Wash your hands and your children's hands often, especially before
they eat and before nap time and bed time.
Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stufFed
animals regularly.
Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces, or
eating soil.
When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state-
approved Lead-Safe Certified renovation firms (see page 12).
Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking
in lead from soil.
Make sure children eat nutritious, low-fat meals high in iron, and
calcium, such as spinach and dairy products. Children with good diets
absorb less lead.

DocID:2f0e3d7c821072431858e02ca401d0442decdb78
Disturbing lead-based paint or
removing lead improperly can
increase the hazard to your family by
spreading even more lead dust around
the house.
In addition to day-to-day cleaning
and good nutrition, you can
temporarily reduce lead-based paint
hazards by taking actions, such as
repairing damaged painted surfaces
and planting grass to cover lead-
contaminated soil.These actions are
not permanent solutions and will need
ongoing attention.
You can minimize exposure to lead

when renovating, repairing, or painting by hiring an EPA- or state-
certified renovator who is trained in the use of lead-safe work
practices. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, learn how to use lead-safe
work practices in your home.
To remove lead hazards permanently, you should hire a certified lead
abatement contractor. Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination)
methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead-based paint
with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular
paint is not permanent control.
Always use a certified contractor who is trained to address lead
hazards safely.
Hire a Lead-Safe Certified firm (see page 12) to perform renovation,
repair, or painting (RRP) projects that disturb painted surfaces.
To correct lead hazards permanently, hire a certified lead abatement
contractor. This will ensure your contractor knows how to work safely
and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly.
Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict
safety rules as set by their state or by the federal government.

If your home has had lead abatement work done or if the housing is
receiving federal assistance, once the work is completed, dust cleanup
activities must be conducted until clearance testing indicates that lead
dust levels are below the following levels:
10 micrograms per square foot (µg/ft2) for floors, including carpeted
floors
100 g/ft2 for interior windows sills
400 µg/ftz for window troughs
Abatements are designed to permanently eliminate lead-based
paint hazards. However, lead dust can be reintroduced into an
abated area.
Use a HEPA vacuum on all furniture and other items returned to the
area, to reduce the potential for reintroducing lead dust.
Regularly clean floors, window sills, troughs, and other hard surfaces
with a damp cloth or sponge and a general all-purpose cleaner.
Please see page 9 for more information on steps you can take to
protect your home after the abatement. For help in locating certified
lead abatement professionals in your area, call your state or local
agency (see pages 15 and 16), epa.gov/lead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD.

Contain the work area. The area must be contained so that dust and
debris do not escape from the work area. Warning signs must be put
up, and plastic or other impermeable material and tape must be used.
Avoid renovation methods that generate large amounts of
lead-contaminated dust. Some methods generate so much lead-
contaminated dust that their use is prohibited. They are:
Open-flame burning or torching
Sanding, grinding, planing, needle gunning, or blasting with
power tools and equipment not equipped with a shroud and
HEPA vacuum attachment
Using a heat gun at temperatures greater than 1100°F
Clean up thoroughly. The work area should be cleaned up daily.
When all the work is done, the area must be cleaned up using special
cleaning methods.
Dispose of waste properly. Collect and seal waste in a heavy duty
bag or sheeting. When transported, ensure that waste is contained to
prevent release of dust and debris.

Lead in Drinking Water
The most common sources of lead in drinking water are lead pipes,
faucets, and fixtures.
Lead pipes are more likely to be found in older cities and homes built
before 1986.
You can't smell or taste lead in drinking water.
To find out for certain if you have lead in drinking water, have your
water tested.
Remember older homes with a private well can also have plumbing
materials that contain lead.
Important Steps You Can Take to Reduce Lead in Drinking Water
Use only cold water for drinking, cooking and making baby formula.
Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water.
Before drinking, flush your home's pipes by running the tap, taking a
shower, doing laundry, or doing a load of dishes.
Regularly clean your faucet's screen (also known as an aerator).
If you use a filter certified to remove lead, don't forget to read the
directions to learn when to change the cartridge. Using a filter after it
has expired can make it less effective at removing lead.
Contact your water company to determine if the pipe that connects
your home to the water main (called a service line) is made from lead.
Your area's water company can also provide information about the lead
levels in your system's drinking water.
For more information about lead in drinking water, please contact
EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. If you have other
questions about lead poisoning prevention, call 1-800 424-LEAD.
Call your local health department or water company to find out about
testing your water, or visit epa.gov/safewater for EPA's lead in drinking
water information. Some states or utilities offer programs to pay for
water testing for residents. Contact your state or local water company
to learn more.

Lead smelters or other industries that release lead into the air.
Your job. If you work with lead, you could bring it home on your body
or clothes. Shower and change clothes before coming home. Launder
your work clothes separately from the rest of your family's clothes.
Hobbies that use lead, such as making pottery or stained glass,
or refinishing furniture. Call your local health department for
information about hobbies that may use lead.
Old toys and furniture may have been painted with lead-containing
paint. Older toys and other children's products may have parts that
contain lead.4
Food and liquids cooked or stored in lead crystal or lead-glazed
pottery or porcelain may contain lead.
Folk remedies, such as "greta" and "azarcon;' used to treat an upset
stomach.
4 In 1978, the federal government banned toys, other children's products, and furniture
with lead-containing paint. In 2008, the federal government banned lead in most
children's products. The federal government currently bans lead in excess of 100 ppm
by weight in most children's products.

IMPORTANT!
Lead From Paint, Dust, and Soil in and
Around Your Home Can Be Dangerous if
Not Manaa d Properly
Children under 6 years old are most at risk for lead
poisoning in your home.
Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even
before they are born.
Homes, schools, and child care facilities built before 1978
are likely to contain lead-based paint.
Even children who seem healthy may have dangerous
levels of lead in their bodies.
Disturbing surfaces with lead-based paint or removing
lead-based paint improperly can increase the danger to
your family.
People can get lead into their bodies by breathing or
swallowing lead dust, or by eating soil or paint chips
containing lead.
People have many options for reducing lead hazards.
Generally, lead-based paint that is in good condition is not
a hazard (see page 10).

September 30, 2026 for use of federal grant funds totaling $13,273,355.77 from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the Community Development Block Grant
CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs, plus program income from the
CDBG and HOME grant programs totaling $60,000.00. It also summarizes the use of program income
resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME funds, the primary purpose of which is to
benefit low-and moderate-income persons in Fort Worth. ESG funds primarily benefit persons experiencing
homelessness, and HOPWA funds primarily benefit low-and moderate-income persons with HIV/AIDS.
A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking grant funding
was published on January 15, 2025. All proposals were received on March 3, 2025. Staff reviewed all
proposals and developed recommendations for the allocation of estimated funding from HUD based on the
capacity of applicant organizations, grant experience, fiscal stability, and compliance with applicable
federal regulations. One public hearing was held on July 14, 2025, to provide citizens with the opportunity
to participate in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Recommendations for award amounts were
considered and adopted by the Community Development Council on June 11, 2025.
A 30-day public comment period was held from June 16, 2025, through July 16, 2025. Notice of this public
comment period was published in the Cleburne Times Review on June 10, 2025; in the Fort Worth Star
Telegram and Weatherford Democrat on June 11, 2025; and in La Vida News and the Wise County
Messenger on June 12, 2025.
Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with
federal regulations. The City held two public hearings as a part of the HUD required citizen participation
process. The first public hearing was held by staff on July 14, 2025, and the second public hearing is

Each of these grants are an entitlement grant rather than a competitive grant received from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Entitlement grants provide funds to
agencies based on a formula prescribed in legislation or regulation, rather than based on review. These
specific grants are allocated to the City of Fort Worth based on population size and per capita income each
year. The grants have been consistently awarded to the City since 1974 with the inception of the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974. The Emergency Shelter (renamed Solutions) Grant (ESG) was authorized in 1987 through the
McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act. The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program were authorized through the
Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. With these grants, administrative and
program delivery allocations support approximately 90 FTE positions in the Neighborhood Services
Department, which is funded nearly 60\% with various grants including these entitlement grants.
Positions funded with HUD Entitlement grants are subject to grant availability. In the event of a grant award
being decreased or eliminated, the Neighborhood Services Department would review programs and
services funded by the grants and determine a level of service and staffing that aligns with the available
funding. Alternatives to consider may include staff and program reductions or eliminations.
The City of Fort Worth has certified that all programs receiving funding through the HOPWA, HOME, ESG,
and CDBG grants comply with applicable Executive Orders.
These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated,
of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Neighborhood Services Department (and Financial
Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to
an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility to validate
the availability of funds. These are reimbursement grants.
