The Hazardous Consumer Products Registration program, under the Texas Hazardous Substances Act, handles compliance over a broad range of commonly used consumer items including automotive products; household cleaners; polishes and waxes; paints and glues; infant items; children's toys; and sleep wear. This responsibility is implemented through registration of manufacturers; re-packagers and/or importers of hazardous substances; enforcement of labeling regulation, including hazard warning statements and first aid instructions appropriate for the specific product; and detention of recalled, mislabeled, and banned items.

Beginning April 1, 2025. All Hazardous Consumer Products registrations will be issued electronically using a new Secure Mailbox feature in the Online Services portal.

To obtain and print an electronic file of your Hazardous Product registration, log in to your account where the registration is linked.

1.   In the Quick Start menu, scroll down to Additional Activities and Select Secure Mailbox.

      2.   In the Secure Mailbox, the registration will be available in the “Inbox”.  Click “Open” to view and download the license certificate.

      3.  Print the registration for your records.
