Texas State Fire Marshal Rules (28 TAC Chapter 34, Subchapters C, E, F and G) 34.619: Plans by a licensed planner or professional engineer, signed and stamped, record drawings to the owner, nothing stored in panels, residential drawings kept a year

A fire alarm planning superintendent, a residential fire alarm superintendent where appropriate, or a Texas registered professional engineer plans every fire alarm system and every modification. Unless an engineer has sealed the plans or the local authority waives it, one set of the plans lodged for review, rating, permit or record purposes carries an original dated signature by the licensed planner certifying compliance with the codes and standards (or that the plans were copied from sealed engineering plans with any violations noted) and carries the licensee's number and the firm's name, address, telephone number and certificate number, which may appear as the prescribed stamp. Record drawings including the sequence of operation go to the owner, with later modifications legibly noted and provided. Plans, manuals and documents are not stored inside fire alarm panels. For one- and two-family residences the installing firm keeps drawings showing device, notification appliance and panel locations for at least a year after completion, with the firm's details and the planner's or engineer's name and signature, available to the owner and the AHJ on request.
