What is the minimum diameter required for a seal?

The minimum diameter required for a seal, as stated in Texas regulations for land surveying, is 1.5 inches. This requirement ensures that the seal is sufficiently large to contain all necessary information clearly and legibly, including the surveyor's name, license number, and the state of licensure. A seal of this size provides an appropriate level of visibility while adhering to professional standards, which helps to maintain credibility and professionalism in land surveying practices.

Larger diameters could be more visible but are not necessary from a regulatory standpoint, while smaller diameters may compromise the clarity and legibility of the information included on the seal. The specification of a minimum size reflects an understanding of both practicality and the need for prominent identification on official documents.
