| (a) An application for a permit under this chapter
must be filed with the department and must be:
(1) made in a form and filed by the method prescribed
by the department on its website;
(2) completed by the applicant or an authorized representative
of the applicant; and
(3) accompanied by the required fee, which shall be
payable as provided by §209.23 of this title (relating to Methods
of Payment).
(b) An authorized representative of the applicant who
files an application with the department on behalf of the applicant
may be required to provide written proof of authority to act on behalf
of the applicant.
(c) The department will not approve an application
for a permit unless the applicant:
(1) provides all information and documents required
by the department; and
(2) complies with all application requirements under
this chapter; Transportation Code, Chapters 621, 622, and 623; and
other applicable law.
(d) An applicant must register for an account in the
department's designated permitting system prior to using the system
to apply for or amend a permit. Once the applicant registers for an
account in the department's designated permitting system, the system
will generate a customer identification number for the applicant to
use when applying for a permit. To register for an account, the applicant
must provide the following information via the department's designated
permitting system, which is accessible on the department's website:
(1) the applicant's company name, phone number, email
address, permit delivery method, physical address, and mailing address;
(2) first name, last name, and phone number for an
emergency contact for the applicant; and
(3) the requested login information, including a unique
username and password.
(e) If the department authorizes an application for
a permit to be submitted by mail and the applicant does not have a
customer identification number, the applicant must authorize the department
to set up an account for the applicant in the department's designated
permitting system for the purposes of obtaining a customer identification
number for the applicant based on information the department obtains
from the applicant's permit application and information the department
obtains from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's system.
