for 17 months.
(2) For individuals who qualify for dental licensure by examination,
the initial dental license registration fees will be as follows:
(A) an annual license registration fee of $93.00 prorated according
to the number of months in the initial registration period;
(B) $9.00 for peer assistance.

to the number of months in the initial registration period;
(B) $9.00 for peer assistance;
(C) a $200.00 annual assessment by the Texas Legislature for
deposit to the General Revenue Fund.
(4) Subsequent to the initial registration period, a licensee's
annual registration (renewal) will occur on the first day of the month that
follows the last month of his/her initial dental license registration period.
Pursuant to §102.1(a) of this title (relating to Fee Schedule), the licensee
will pay the following fee for each annual registration (i.e., renewal):

deposit to the General Revenue Fund;

be mailed to all dental licensees who have that expiration date.
(6) A license registration expired for more than one year may
not be renewed.
