No. Renovation or remodeling activities that are not designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards, but, instead, are designed to repair, restore, or remodel a given structure or dwelling, even though these activities may incidentally result in a reduction or elimination of lead-based paint hazards are exempt for the Texas Environmental Lead Reduction Rules (TELRR).
