ADA compliance in a parking lot is not just painting a wheelchair symbol on a stall. It means the right number of accessible stalls for your lot size, van-accessible dimensions on at least one stall, correct access aisle widths, ISA symbols painted on the pavement surface (not just signs), and an accessible route connecting each stall to the building entrance. We confirm all of this before we quote and verify it before we leave.
TAS requires a specific number of accessible stalls based on your lot’s total parking count. For a 100-space lot, that’s 4 stalls with at least 1 van-accessible. We calculate your requirement and mark accordingly.
At least one of your accessible stalls must be van-accessible: 11-ft wide with a 5-ft access aisle, OR 8-ft wide with an 8-ft access aisle. The stall must also be signed “Van Accessible.” We mark to these exact dimensions.
The International Symbol of Accessibility must be painted on the pavement surface, not just shown on a sign. We stencil ISA symbols in the correct size, position, and color (blue on white background, or white on blue).
Standard accessible stalls require a 5-ft access aisle painted with diagonal hatching. Van-accessible stalls require an 8-ft access aisle. The access aisle cannot be blocked by any fixed object.
Every accessible stall must connect to an accessible route leading to the building’s accessible entrance. If your lot doesn’t have curb cuts or level access to the building, we identify the gap before we mark the stalls.
Before we quote, we walk the lot and identify any current compliance issues: wrong stall count, missing van-accessible stalls, missing ISA symbols, and access aisles that don’t meet width requirements. We fix everything as part of the project.
TAS-Compliant Accessible Stall | North Houston TXWe do this work every week across Montgomery County, Harris County, and Grimes County. That means The Woodlands, Conroe, Spring, Tomball, Cypress, Humble, Katy, Kingwood, and cities in between. Every market is the same on TAS requirements, but site conditions vary. Strip mall lots in Conroe are different from office park lots in The Woodlands. We bring the right equipment and the right layout for each job.
Texas properties are regulated by TDLR under TAS Chapter 11. If your building was constructed or renovated after January 26, 1992, it has to meet ADA. If it was built under a Texas building permit, it also has to meet TAS, which in some areas is stricter. We know both sets of rules and mark your lot to pass both.

TAS sets the minimum accessible stall count based on your lot’s total spaces. For 1 to 25 spaces, you need 1 accessible stall (van-accessible). For 26 to 50, you need 2 (1 van-accessible). For every 100 spaces up to 500, you add one more stall. Lots over 500 spaces follow a scaled formula. We calculate your requirement on-site and mark exactly what you need.
A standard accessible stall needs a 5-foot access aisle on one side. A van-accessible stall needs an 8-foot access aisle to accommodate wheelchair van lifts. TAS requires at least one van-accessible stall in every accessible parking area, regardless of lot size. We paint the “NO PARKING” hatch pattern in the aisle and mark the stall with the correct ISA symbol.
ISA stands for International Symbol of Accessibility, the wheelchair symbol you see on handicap spaces. TAS requires it to be painted on the pavement surface of each accessible stall, not just on a sign. It goes in the middle of the stall, typically in white or blue paint per your local jurisdiction. The symbol stencil size and placement must meet the standards or it won’t pass a TDLR inspection.
Yes. The DOJ can issue civil penalties starting at $75,000 for a first ADA violation. TDLR has its own complaint and enforcement process for Texas properties. Beyond fines, non-compliant lots can trigger lawsuits under Title III of the ADA, which does not require a prior complaint to the government. Property owners in The Woodlands, Conroe, and surrounding areas have faced these cases. Correct striping is the cheapest insurance you can buy.
In most cases, just the accessible stalls and their access aisles need to be corrected. If existing lines are faded or placed in the wrong location, we can remove and repaint just those stalls. If your lot was never striped with accessible stalls at all, we add them as part of a full or partial restripe. We tell you upfront exactly what work is needed after we walk the lot.
We handle the painting and can document the work with photos that show compliance. For formal TDLR filings or accessibility audits required by a building permit, you would work with a Texas Registered Accessibility Specialist (RAS). We are not RAS-certified inspectors, but we know what the marks need to look like to pass. If you are working with a RAS, we coordinate with them on layout before we paint.
Call us at (281) 826-2527. We come out to your property, walk the lot with you, count your accessible stalls, measure access aisles, and tell you exactly what is and isn’t compliant. Free.. Then we send you a flat written price to bring everything up to TAS specification. No obligation. We serve North Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Cypress, Humble, Tomball, and surrounding areas.
