(a) Misleading name. The improper use by an applicant
of an assumed name containing "incorporated," "corporation," "associates,"
"limited," or an abbreviation of one of those words, may be grounds
for denying registration if such designation is thereby misleading.
(b) No recommendations by Board. The State Securities
Board will not recommend any specific dealer, underwriter, lawyer,
or accountant to an applicant in any matter concerning the preparation
and presentation for approval of a securities registration application.
(c) Consents to service of process.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection,
all applications to register securities issued by an issuer which
is organized under the laws of any other state, territory, or government,
or domiciled in any state other than Texas, must include with the
application a written consent to service of process duly executed
by an authorized agent of the issuer appointing the Securities Commissioner
irrevocably its true and lawful attorney upon whom process in any
action or proceeding against such issuer arising out of any transaction
subject to the Texas Securities Act may be served with the same effect
as if such issuer were organized or created under the laws of Texas
and had been lawfully served with process herein.
(2) The consent to service of process required under
paragraph (1) of this subsection is not required when the application
for registration is filed by a registered dealer acting as a principal
in a firm commitment underwriting.
(d) Abandonment of application.
(1) An application for registration of securities may
be declared abandoned if the applicant fails to substantively respond
within 30 days to a letter indicating that failure to respond will
result in abandonment, which letter will be sent no sooner than 30
days after the last substantive request letter regarding the application
to which there has been no reply.
(2) Except for good cause shown, the application for
registration of securities that fails to meet registration requirements
within one year of the filing date of the application will expire
and become null and void. A copy of this rule will be provided to
an applicant at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the application.
(e) Sales in excess of amount registered.
(1) An offeror who sells securities in this state in
excess of the amount of securities registered may take the actions
described in and pay the fee or fees, as applicable, as required under
and prescribed by the Act, §4006.151(a).
(2) Registration of the excess securities, if granted,
shall be effective as provided in the Act, §4006.151(b).
(3) As an alternative to paragraph (1) of this subsection,
the offeror may issue letters of rescission to persons who bought
excess securities and include a statement in the prospectus admitting
the error, or show sales of unregistered securities as a contingent
liability.
