About this app

TxCodeCompass Pro — Texas Building Code Intelligence in Your Pocket

NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: TxCodeCompass Pro is an independent reference and
productivity tool published by Reeves Ventures Group LLC, a private company. It
is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or representing the State of
Texas, any government agency, or any code-publishing body. It does not provide
or facilitate any government service.

Built on 40 years of experience as a Superintendent, Building Official,
Inspector and Code Officer, TxCodeCompass Pro puts real-world code knowledge in
the hands of builders, inspectors, contractors, and property owners across
Texas. Whether you are checking a setback before you pour, verifying which code
cycle a jurisdiction has adopted, or documenting violations in the field,
TxCodeCompass Pro was designed by someone who has stood where you are standing.

SEVEN POWERFUL TOOLS IN ONE APP


MAP VIEW: Drop a pin or search any Texas address to view parcel information
with FEMA flood zone, USFWS wetlands, and USDA soil overlays.
CODE LOOKUP: Search building code sections by keyword or trade. Fast answers
written for field application, not legal theory.
FEASIBILITY: Run a quick project feasibility check covering zoning, flood
exposure, access, and utilities.
CODES & STANDARDS: Direct links to the official ICC Digital Codes, Texas
state-adopted codes, and the publications inspectors actually reference.
PERMIT PORTAL: Links to Texas appraisal districts, councils of government, and
local permitting authorities, organized so you stop digging through bookmarks.
AI COPILOT: Ask plain-language code questions and get plain-language answers,
grounded in the app's code database.
VIOLATION LIBRARY: A growing photo library of real-world code violations,
organized by trade.


WHO IT'S FOR
General contractors and superintendents; building officials, inspectors, and
code officers; trade contractors (electrical, plumbing, mechanical); real estate
