What must be disclosed on a preliminary statement?

The requirement to disclose the surveyor's name and registration number on a preliminary statement is crucial for transparency and accountability in the field of land surveying. This disclosure helps establish the qualifications of the surveyor performing the work and ensures that clients can verify the legitimacy and licensing status of the individual or firm conducting the survey. By providing this information, it allows clients to trust that their surveyor is professionally recognized and adheres to the ethical standards and regulations governing the practice in Texas.

Identifying the surveyor along with their registration number is also a measure that promotes professional integrity, as it links the surveyor's legal accountability to the work being provided. This information is essential for any follow-up related to the survey or if any disputes arise in the future regarding the services rendered. Proper identification of licensed professionals in preliminary documentation bolsters the credibility of the surveying profession and serves as a fundamental part of the surveying process.
