1. (a) Once the revocation, cancellation, or surrender of an Architect's registration is effective, the registration may be reinstated only after an application for reinstatement is properly submitted and approved and the prescribed reinstatement fee is paid.
2. (b) If a reinstatement Applicant has practiced architecture or used any form of the title "architect" in violation of the Architects' Registration Law since the effective date of the revocation, cancellation, or surrender of the Applicant's registration, the reinstatement fee to be paid upon approval of the application shall include an amount equal to the sum of the registration renewal fees for each year since the effective date of the revocation, cancellation, or surrender.

3. (c) An application for reinstatement may be denied on the following grounds:

   1. (1) the registration has been revoked for a continuous period of five (5) years or longer;
   2. (2) the reinstatement Applicant has performed an act, omitted an act or allowed an omission, or otherwise engaged in a practice that could serve as the basis for the rejection of an application for registration or for the revocation of a registration; or
   3. (3) the registration was voluntarily surrendered in lieu of potential disciplinary action and the Board finds that the approval of the reinstatement application does not appear to be in the public's interest.

4. (d) If at least five (5) years have passed since the effective date of the revocation, cancellation, or surrender of a registration, one of the following shall be required prior to approval of an application for reinstatement:

   1. (1) successful completion of all sections of the current registration examination during the five (5) years immediately preceding reinstatement; or
   2. (2) verification that the Applicant currently holds an architectural registration that is active and in good standing in another jurisdiction where the registration requirements are substantially equivalent to Texas architectural registration requirements.
