16 Tex. Admin. Code § 18.6 - General Marking Requirements
(a) At a
minimum, all markings shall conform to the requirements of American Public
Works Association (APWA) Uniform Color Code (ANSI Standard Z535.1, Safety Color
Code).
(b) Markings shall be valid
for an excavation site for 14 days from the time a positive response is given,
unless the markings were placed in response to an emergency and the emergency
condition has ceased to exist. If a line locate ticket has been refreshed
pursuant to §
18.3(e) of this
title, relating to Excavator Notice to Notification Center, then the operator
shall either ensure that markings are still visible and valid or shall
re-mark.
(c) If the use of line
marking may permanently damage property (driveways, landscaping, historic
locations to the extent boundaries are known), a locator shall use spot marking
or another suitable marking method or methods.
