(a) A representative, as that term is defined in the Texas Workers' Compensation Act (the Act), §1.03(40), is authorized under the Act, §2.09(e), to provide services in workers' compensation matters if:
(1) the person is an insurance
adjuster holding a State Board of Insurance license to adjust workers'

authorization from an insurance carrier to adjust claims. Written authorization
is not required from an adjuster who is an employee of the insurance
carrier;
(2) the person is an
attorney and complies with the requirements of §
150.2(a)
of this title (relating to Qualification and Authorization of Attorney To
Practice before the Commission); or

or attorney files with the commission a written power of attorney, or written
authorization from the claimant, allowing that person access to confidential
records. No fee or remuneration shall be received either directly or indirectly
from a claimant.
(b) A representative that fails to comply with the Act, or violates a rule of the commission, may be subject to sanctions, including suspension, as provided by the Act, §2.09(f) and §10.07(d).
