10 TAC §302.1
The Texas Residential Construction Commission (commission)
adopts new §302.1, relating to Adoption of Fees, without changes to the
proposed text as published in the January 9, 2004, issue of the
Texas Register
(29 TexReg 270).
The rule implements new legislation enacted during the 78th Legislative,
Regular Session, specifically House Bill 730, which created the commission
and which authorized the commission to adopt and collect fees as reasonable
and necessary to cover the administrative costs of implementing Title 16,
Property Code.
The commission received no comments on the new rule.
The new rule is adopted under Property Code §408.001, which
provides general authority for the commission to adopt rules necessary for
the implementation of Title 16, Property Code, and under the specific authority
provided in Property Code §408.002, which provides in part that the commission
may adopt reasonable fees to administer Title 16, Property Code.
Cross Reference to Statutes: Title 16, Property Code §408.001 and §408.002.
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.

the Secretary of State on April 1, 2004.
