My house in TX was build in 1973 and I want to remove the ceiling texture know as “popcorn”. How do I know if it contains asbestos? And who can I contact to have it tested or is there a home self test available I can do?

A sample needs to be looked at under a microscope by a testing lab.

Once you have this specific knowledge, you can be held responsible for what you do from that point on. You could leave it alone with no ramification. You could paint it with no ramifications. You could cover it with new 1/2 inch drywall with no ramifications. Anything further with a KNOWN asbestos material could cause problems unless performed by a licensed company. Perform your due diligence.
