Although there's not always a code requirement for low voltage, there most always is for electrical and plumbing.
So what's the electrician and plumber going to do, run outside the wall?
In Texas it's not required for the electrical, even though many house and apartment fires are caused by a screw through the electricians wire at the studs.
When I had my first preside to do here in Houston, my first stop was Greybar to get nail plates and some other goodies that I knew my normal disty's wouldn't have. The looks on their faces was priceless. They had no clue what I was talking about. After about 45 minutes of looking through books and making phone calls, the found some, at another branch. Times like that make me miss Florida.
