40 Tex. Admin. Code § 815.2
Whenever an individual or an employing unit reports or applies to the commission in writing upon a commission form, the date upon which it is established that the writing was mailed, if properly addressed, or, if the mailing date cannot be so established, the date upon which such writing was postmarked, if properly addressed and mailed, or, if neither the mailing date nor the postmark date can be established, the date upon which such writing was received, if delivered to the commission, shall control. If the writing was not upon a commission form but furnishes information which is sufficient to indicate clearly the purpose or intent of such writing, the controlling date shall be determined as described in this section. However, the commission may require that such individual or employing unit furnish the necessary information to the commission in the manner and on a form or forms prescribed by the commission for the particular purpose.
