RULE §9.4264Arbitrator Responsibility for Registry Profile
Historical Texas Register

(a) Registry profile updates. Each arbitrator included in the registry of arbitrators is required to update the arbitrator's registry profile on the online arbitration system to notify the comptroller of any changes in contact information, including address, phone number, and email address, and any material change in the information provided in the arbitrator's application, qualifications, or eligibility for appointment, within 10 calendar days of the change. A material change includes loss of required licensure, incapacity, ineligibility, a change in county of residence. or other conditions that would prevent the individual from lawfully and professionally performing the arbitrator's arbitration duties. Once the arbitrator has submitted registry profile updates, the arbitrator will be notified that, pending review, the arbitrator will not be able to modify active cases on the online arbitration system or receive new appointments.

(b) Eligible to resume active status. If the information provided in the profile updates do not cause the arbitrator to be disqualified, the comptroller will return the arbitrator to active status, and the arbitrator will be able to access arbitration functions in the online arbitration system and receive new appointments.

(c) Ineligible to complete active cases. If any of the information provided in profile updates causes the arbitrator to be ineligible to act as an arbitrator in one or more of the arbitrator's active cases, the comptroller will reassign affected cases to an eligible arbitrator.

(d) Request for additional information. If the comptroller requires additional information, the comptroller shall notify the arbitrator of the information needed. Once the arbitrator submits the information needed, the comptroller will complete the review.

(e) Removal of arbitrator. Failure of the arbitrator to report a material change in the arbitrator's registry profile, or information provided in profile updates that cause the arbitrator to be disqualified, may result in the removal of the arbitrator from the registry upon its discovery and the denial of future applications for inclusion in the registry. An arbitrator's failure to report a material change as required by this section shall not affect the determinations and awards made by the arbitrator during the period that the arbitrator is listed in active status in the registry.
