- (a) The requirements of this section apply to an applicant for a new or renewal license for the license types designated in Chapter 215 or Chapter 221 of this title as requiring fingerprints for licensure.
(b) The following persons may be required to submit a complete and acceptable set of fingerprints to the Texas Department of Public Safety and pay required fees for purposes of obtaining criminal history record information from the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
- (1) a person applying for a new license, license amendment due to change in ownership, or license renewal; and
- (2) a person acting in a representative capacity for an applicant or license holder who is designated as an authorized representative on a licensing application, including an officer, director, manager, trustee, principal, manager of business affairs, or other employee whose act or omission in the course or scope of the representation would be cause for denying, revoking, or suspending a license.
- (c) After reviewing a licensure application and licensing records, the department will notify the applicant or license holder of which persons in subsection (b) of this section are required to submit fingerprints to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
