The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB or Board) adopts amendments to §153.20 regarding revocation, suspension, or denial of license or certification without changes to the proposed text as published in the March 13, 2009, issue of the Texas Register (34 TexReg 1778), which will not be republished.
The amendments clarify that a person seeking reinstatement of a license or certification must meet all requirements that would apply if the person's license or certification was expired.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1103, Subchapter D, Board Powers and Duties.
The statute affected by this adoption is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1103. No other statute, code, or article is affected by the adoption.
