The core rules of Texas fire alarm work

Texas regulates fire alarm work as a licensed trade, and almost every rule in this book answers one of four questions: who may work, what work their license reaches, what standard the work must meet, and what the finished job must show. This chapter puts all four in front of you before the rest of the book takes them apart.
