Garage Access with drop down ladder instead of just a mere cutout.

We recently purchased a home in Manvel, Brazoria County, Texas. We noticed unused space over the garage, but there was no access. We requested that the builder give us access to this space for storage purposes. What the builder did was to cut a hole in the garage but we were not provided with a drop down ladder that is provided as access to the attic. When we asked why were were not provided with a drop down latter, we were told that they were not required to provide the ladder in accordance with the Building Code since there are no utilities in this space. When we asked for a copy of this code, no one could locate it. All we have a cut out, so wee will need to use a very high ladder which could be dangerous. Please let me know if such a code exists for our area. Many thanks. Barbara
