SA TECHFUEL 2026 SEMI-FINALIST

Landowner reports anyone can check.

AcreSeal is an evidence layer that works alongside your work-order and GIS systems. A landowner's photo report is hash-chained when filed and checkable at /verify without an account. When a utility seals the work order, the original report gets a signed, timestamped seal.

Know Your Rights

Texas HB 144 requires your utility to have a documented process for handling pole complaints. Learn what that means for yours.

HOW IT WORKS

Report, route, seal, check.

Landowner reports only.

  1. Step 01: Report it

    A landowner describes the problem in plain words and adds a photo, and the report is hash-chained the moment it's filed.

  2. Step 02: Route it

    AcreSeal routes the report to the utility that owns the nearest mapped pole.

  3. Step 03: Resolve and seal it

    The fix joins the report's hash-chained history, and sealing the work order adds a signature and a third-party timestamp to the original report.

  4. Step 04: Check it

    Anyone can check the report at /verify with its tracking code, no account needed.

    What this does not prove

Reports are matched to a mapped pole within 50 meters; otherwise a person routes them. A utility with an active webhook receives an event for each report matched to it, with its tracking code and record digest and no landowner contact details. Resolution entries are hash-chained, not sealed. See the complaint-process mapping and how to verify independently.

Built for HB 144 Compliance

AcreSeal maps directly to the requirements of Texas HB 144 Sec. 38.103. Complaint documentation. Pole condition records. The annual May 1 compliance update. Audit trail.

Complaint Documentation

HB 144 Ref: Sec. 38.103(b)(5)

Captures, timestamps, and tracks every landowner complaint about pole condition. Anonymous reporting supported. AI photo triage flags visible damage and suggests a severity for staff review. Supports the complaint-process element your plan must document.

Pole Condition Records

HB 144 Ref: Sec. 38.103(b)(4)

Per-pole condition checklists with a required photo, and per-pole inspection deadlines with countdown tracking. Records capture safe, reliable, and extreme-weather determinations. The timeline element of your plan is yours to set; AcreSeal records what was done against it.

PUCT Compliance Reporting

HB 144 Ref: Sec. 38.103(c)

The annual update due each May 1: poles inspected as a count and a share of your census, per-pole remediation and replacement status, and actual costs by compliance year. Maps to Sec. 38.103(c). Format updates included when PUCT prescribes the final template.

Forensic Evidence Chain

SHA-256 Hash Chain

Landowner complaint records are hash-chained when filed. When a utility seals a work order, each complaint's environmental digest, which includes its capture-time photo digest when a photo was filed, becomes a leaf of a signed, timestamped seal, checkable at acreseal.com/verify without an account. Pole condition checklists are recorded but not yet hash-chained or sealed.
