The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to §153.24, Processing a Complaint, without changes to the proposed text as published in the September 11, 2009, issue of the Texas Register (34 TexReg 6255), which will not be republished. The amendments enable the Board and the commissioner to designate a staff member to sign off on dismissals of enforcement complaints.

The reasoned justification for these amendments is greater efficiency in TALCB's enforcement processes.

No comments were received regarding the amendments as proposed.

The amendments are adopted under the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act, Subchapter D, Board Powers and Duties (Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1103), which provides the board with authority to adopt rules under §1103.151, Rules Relating to Certificates and Licenses and §1103.154, Rules Relating to Professional Conduct.

The statute affected by this adoption is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1103. No other statute, code, or article is affected by the amendments.
