1. (a) Individual registrants and properly constituted business entities are authorized by law to engage in the practice of architecture; however, the Board does not certify or register architectural firms, per se. In order for such businesses to acquire corporate architectural status, via a No Objection letter issued by the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners, the business must supply the Board:

   1. (1) information on what services they intend to offer;
   2. (2) the names of the individuals employed by their business that are Texas registered architects; and
   3. (3) Architect of Record affidavits, available in the Board office, signed by Texas registered architects and notarized by a Notary Public.
2. (b) Thus, that responsibility of this Board to protect the public interests from the irresponsible practice of architecture is vested in the qualification and responsibility of architects who are accountable individually.
