as defined in Texas Occupations Code, §55.001(4), may be granted
up to two years of additional time to renew a license or registration.

OAG (Office of the Attorney General) as being in default of child
support, the board shall not renew the license or registration of
the license or registration holder on the renewal date following such
notification. The board shall not renew or reinstate said license
or registration unless the OAG certifies the individual has satisfied
the requirements of the Texas Family Code, Chapter 232.
(g) Pursuant to Texas Occupations Code Chapter 55,
a license or registration holder is exempt from any penalty imposed
in this section for failing to renew the license or registration in
a timely manner if the license or registration holder provides adequate
documentation, including copies of orders, to establish to the satisfaction
of the board that the license or registration holder failed to renew
in a timely manner because the license or registration holder was
serving as a military service member as defined in Texas Occupations
Code, §55.001(4).
