(a) Application.
(b) To be eligible for registration, an applicant must:
(c) Texas residents who enter military service and resume their Texas residence immediately upon separation from the military are not considered to have lost their Texas residence unless they have affirmatively established legal residence elsewhere.
(d) The fact that an individual has had disabilities of minority removed does not affect the requirement that an applicant be 18 years of age to be eligible for a license.
(e) The Commission will assign a registration number to each certificate holder and provide each certificate holder with a certificate of registration. Each registration issued by the Commission is valid until the last day of the month two years after the date the registration was issued.
(f) Termination of application. An application is terminated and is subject to no further evaluation or processing if the applicant fails to satisfy the requirements of subsection (b) of this section within one year from the date the application is filed.
(g) The Commission may disapprove an application for registration with written notice to the applicant if the applicant has been convicted of a criminal offense which is grounds for disapproval of an application under § 541.1 of this title (relating to Criminal Offense Guidelines) or the applicant has engaged in conduct prohibited by the Act. Provided a timely written request for a hearing is made by the applicant in accordance with the Act, an applicant whose application for registration has been disapproved is entitled to a hearing. The hearing on the application will be conducted in accordance with §1101.364 of the Act and Chapter 533 of this title (relating to Practice and Procedure).
(h) If the Commission determines that issuance of a probationary certificate is appropriate, the order entered by the Commission with regard to the application must set forth the terms and conditions for the probationary certificate. Terms for a probationary certificate may include any of the following:
(i) Unless the order granting a probationary certificate specifies otherwise, a probationary certificate holder may renew the certificate after the probationary period by satisfying the requirements under § 535.403 of this subchapter (relating to Renewal of Registration).
(j) Each certificate holder shall display the certificate of registration issued by the Commission in a prominent location in the certificate holder's place of business, as required by §1101.507 of the Act. If the certificate holder maintains more than one place of business, the certificate holder shall display either the certificate or a copy of the certificate in each place of business.
(k) Each certificate holder shall provide a mailing address, phone number, and email address used in business, if available, to the Commission and shall report all subsequent changes not later than the 10th day after the date of a change of any of the listed contact information. If a certificate holder fails to update the contact information, the last known contact information provided to the Commission is the certificate holder's contact information.
