Part VIII. Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board

Chapter 153. Provisions of the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act

22 TAC §153.22

The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board adopts new §153.22, License Holder's Responsibility to the Board. The rule was adopted with changes to the proposed text (to correct a typographical error) as published in the April 16, 1999, issue of the Texas Register (24 TexReg 3018).

New §153.22 is being adopted to clarify that all licensees are subject to all provisions of the Act; that all licensees and those applying for renewals, must respond to inquiries of the Board within 20 days; and must comply with final actions and orders of the board or be subject to disciplinary action.

One written comment was received. The Foundation Appraisers Coalition of Texas (FACT) wrote to support the proposed new rule. The Board adopted the new rule as proposed with a change to correct a typographical error.

The new section is adopted under the Powers and Duties of the Board, Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act, §5 (Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6573a.2), which provides the board with authority to adopt rules.

§153.22. License Holder's Responsibility to the Board.

(a)

A certified or licensed appraiser or appraiser trainee or applicant for renewal is subject to all provisions of the Act and board rules and shall, within 20 days of notice to said individual's address of record, unless granted a written extension by the board, answer all inquiries concerning matters under the jurisdiction of the board, and shall fully comply with final decisions and orders of the board.

(b)

Failure to comply with this section constitutes a separate violation of §153.20(a)(2) of this title (relating to Guidelines for Revocation, Suspension or Denial of Licensure or Certification).

This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.

Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on July 26, 1999.
