Which body governs the standards for the ethical conduct of surveyors in Texas?

The governing body that oversees the standards for the ethical conduct of surveyors in Texas is the Texas Board of Licensed Surveyors. This board is responsible for establishing the regulations and ethical standards that licensed surveyors must adhere to in their professional practice. It ensures that surveyors maintain a high level of professionalism and accountability, thereby protecting the public interest and upholding the integrity of the profession.

The Texas Board of Licensed Surveyors has the authority to enforce compliance with these ethical guidelines and can take disciplinary action if a surveyor fails to meet these standards. This includes addressing violations of ethics, professional conduct, and competency, which are essential for maintaining trust in surveying as a profession.

Other organizations mentioned, such as the Texas Board of Professional Engineers, primarily govern engineers and their respective ethical codes rather than surveyors. The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping and the Texas Association of Surveyors provide support and resources for surveyors but do not have governing authority over the ethical standards of practice specific to Texas.
