1. (a) A facility shall not provide chiropractic services without first being licensed by the board.
2. (b) An applicant for a facility license shall submit to the board an application as prescribed by the board, along with the facility license fee as provided in §75.7 of this title (relating to fees), payable by personal or company check to the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners. The application must be signed by the owner, if a sole proprietorship, or by an authorized representative, if a partnership or corporation.

3. (c) The following information shall be included in the application and upon renewal:

   1. (1) the legal name of the facility, the address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the primary and secondary locations of the facility to be licensed;
   2. (2) the type of legal entity (sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation);
   3. (3) the name, address, and percentage of ownership of each person with a 10% or greater ownership interest in the facility; if a person is an individual, include the person's social security number, driver's license number, date of birth, and if a licensee, his or her license number;
   4. (4) the name and license number of each doctor licensed by the board who is employed or otherwise engaged to provide chiropractic services at the facility; and
   5. (5) any other information requested by the board that it deems necessary for processing the application or for other regulatory purposes.
4. (d) Social security numbers are collected for purposes of child support collection and student loan enforcement.
5. (e) A facility owner must be 21 years of age or older.
6. (f) A facility will be charged for one license, regardless of the number of locations for each facility. For administrative record keeping purposes, each separate location will be issued a separate license number. The application shall identify one location as the primary location; all other locations shall be designated as secondary. Facilities that share office space or staff but otherwise maintain separate business identities, including separate billing, accounting or other functions, shall be treated as separate facilities and each charged a license fee.
7. (g) No license will be issued on an incomplete submission. Application or renewal packages that are submitted without all of the required documents or fees will be deemed incomplete and returned to the applicant.
8. (h) This chapter does not apply to hospitals or public health clinics registered with the Texas Department of Health or another state agency, or a chiropractic facility owned and operated by a Texas college of chiropractic as part of its chiropractic internship program.
