Of course, I was only speaking of adopted codes. I'm not familiar with
all of the various code sets available for a jurisdiction to consider;
however, the prevalent code set in Texas is IFC. IFC references NFPA 13 and
13R specifically for its

Based on NFPA 13, 2010 edition and NFPA 101, 2009 edition.
Annex D is not part of the enforceable section of NFPA 13, unless a
jurisdiction specifically adopts it (see section heading). In this case,
