City codes decide which get sprinklers. State says if you do it do it like this NFPA 13. State also says, "If you sprinkle, inspect yearly per NFPA 25"

Kinda my question too.  Is it State wide or does each city need to adopt?  If 
by City I assume most of the larger ones do adopt? The rules didn't help in my 
admittedly quick read.  I understood TX is a lot of home rule and not a lot 
from the State level.  For example, here in MN there is one fire code 
throughout the state and 25 is required in every....dog house, hen house.... 
well at least the sprinklered ones.

Not trying to ding anyone.  Was asked to justify it in a report whether it's a 
requirement or just a recommendation.

Do those apply to all building or just state owned?

Is it adopted?  What edition?  Regularly enforced?  Where might I find more 
information about NFPA 25 in Texas, like a state board.
