The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §157.7, Denial of a License, and §157.8, Adverse Action Against a License Holder or Registrant, without changes to the proposed text as published in the September 4, 2015, issue of the Texas Register (40 TexReg 5678). The amendments reorganize these rules for better understanding and clarity.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to provide clarity for license holders.

No comments were received on the amendments as proposed.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code, §1103.151, which authorizes the TALCB to adopt rules relating to certificates and licenses, and §1104.051, which authorizes TALCB to adopt rules necessary to administer Chapter 1104.

The statutes affected by these amendments are Texas Occupations Code, Chapters 1103 and 1104. No other statute, code or article is affected by the amendments.
