exterior of the structure. RTHL status is a permanent designation and is not to be removed
from the property in the event of a transfer of ownership. Only the THC can remove the
designation or recall the marker. The marker must remain with the structure and may not be
removed or displayed elsewhere until or unless the THC gives express approval in writing
for such action. Once designated as RTHL, properties are subject to provisions of Texas
Government Code, Section 442.006(f).
Criteria:
1. Age: Properties eligible for the RTHL designation and marker must be at least 50 years
old.
2. Historical significance: Architectural significance alone is not enough to qualify a
property for RTHL designation. It must have a significant historical association, which
can come from an event that occurred at the site; through individuals who owned or
lived on the property; or, in the case of bridges, industrial plants, schoolhouses and other
non-residential properties, through documented significance to the larger community.
3. Architectural significance: Properties deemed architecturally significant are
outstanding examples of architectural history through design, materials, structural type or
construction methods. In all cases, eligible architectural properties must display integrity;
that is, the structure should be in a good state of repair, maintain its appearance from its
period of significance and be considered an exemplary model of preservation.
Architectural significance is often best determined by the relevance of the property to
broader contexts, including geography. Any changes over the years should be compatible
with original design and reflect compliance with accepted preservation practices, e.g., the
Secretary ofthe Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
4. Good state of repair: Structures not considered by the THC to be in a good state of
repair are ineligible for RTHL designation. The THC reserves the sole right to make that
determination relative to eligibility for RTHL markers.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR RTHL DOCUMENTATION:
National Register properties
Properties individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NR) under either
Criterion A or B and Criterion C (Architecture) may not require additional documentation
of the building's history or architecture. In such cases, only an RTHL application needs to be
submitted. The THC has sole discretion to determine whether such documentation is
satisfactory and correct or if documentation needs to be updated.
[ Check this box if the property is individually listed in the NR. Year listed:
Courthouses
Historic county courthouses with documented master plans accepted through the THC's
Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program (THCPP) may not require additional
documentation of the building's history or architecture. In such cases, only an RTHL
application needs to be submitted. The THC has sole discretion to determine whether such
documentation is satisfactory and correct or if documentation needs to be updated.
L Check this box if the property is a courthouse with a master plan accepted through the
THC's THCPP.
