The amendments are recommended for adoption by the TALCB Enforcement Committee to provide additional guidance to applicants, license holders, and members of the public and clarify the requirements for computing time under the TALCB Rules.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to provide additional clarity and guidance to applicants, license holders, and members of the public.
