Jerry,

Yep, I see the difference. To clarify (if clarification is needed), my post was added mainly because someone suggested that if the issue in the original thread starter was legal when the house was built, then it would not be an issue. The point I was trying to make was that regardless of what was code when it was built, under my SOP (and probably others) it is considered a repair issue and should be called out. The TX SOP makes no mention as to the age of the house when specifying repair issues. But to be truthful, as your code post shows, the Texas SOP definitely needs clarification (but that is a whole 'nother thread!)
