    • Look up your TV brand on the TCEQ list and follow the manufacturer's instructions. If no option is listed, contact the manufacturer; other brands' programs may also accept it.

  2. Ask whether a cracked screen or broken glass changes the price or handling.
  3. Confirm the total cost, including any visit fee, before you load it.
