The TDCJ-CJAD director may grant a waiver to a CSCD, or other state-aid recipient, from a standard or standards upon receipt, examination and approval of a request for waiver by TDCJ-CJAD. The request for waiver must include a plan to comply with said standard or standards by a certain date, and an explanation as to why the agency is not currently in compliance with said standard or standards. When out of compliance with any standard, the request for waiver of standards must immediately be submitted by the agency director to the TDCJ-CJAD director. If the waiver is approved by the TDCJ-CJAD director, the waiver becomes part of the audit record for compliance with that standard.
