TCEQ Notices of Violation

When Texas environmental regulators find a company or facility breaking pollution rules, they issue a notice. This data is the record of those notices. Each one gets rated by how serious the violation is (A being the worst, then B, then C). You can see who got cited, where they're located, and when the investigation wrapped up. It's the actual enforcement action list for environmental violations across Texas.

How this data is collected

Covers all TCEQ-regulated entities across Texas, stratified by violation severity and TCEQ region.
Violations classified into three categories (A, B, C) by severity; each notice receives a unique tracking number.
Updated periodically as investigations are approved; investigation_approved_date marks enforcement action completion.
Sourced from TCEQ enforcement records; one row per notice (multiple notices possible per investigation).

What to watch out for

Row counts reflect notices issued, not unique investigations or regulated entities; a single investigation can produce multiple notices.
Data represents only violations detected and formally documented by TCEQ; unreported or undetected violations are not included.
Business type classification may be incomplete or outdated for some entities.
Geographic coordinates provided at county centroid level, not precise facility location.
The dataset does not track outcomes of violations (penalties, corrective actions, or closure status).
