The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to §153.24, Complaint Processing, without changes to the proposed text as published in the November 27, 2020, issue of the Texas Register (45 TexReg 8448). The rule will not be republished.

The amendments clarify the process in which complaints or allegations that staff determines are not within the TALCB's jurisdiction; found not to exist; or are inappropriate or without merit are investigated and dismissed in accordance with Texas Occupations Code §1103.452.

No comments were received on the amendments as published.

The amendments are adopted under Occupations Code §1103.151, which allows TALCB to adopt rules for certifying or licensing an appraiser or appraiser trainee and §1103.154, which authorizes TALCB to adopt rules relating to professional conduct.
