Sec. 2301.301. LICENSE TERM AND RENEWAL. (a) Licenses issued under this chapter are valid for the period prescribed by the board.
(b) The department may issue a license for a term of less than the period prescribed under Subsection (a) to coordinate the expiration dates of licenses held by a person that is required to obtain more than one license to perform activities under this chapter.
(c) The board by rule may implement a system under which licenses expire on various dates during the year. For a year in which a license expiration date is changed, the fee for the license shall be prorated so that the license holder pays only that portion of the fee that is allocable to the number of months during which the license is valid. On renewal of the license on the new expiration date, the entire license renewal fee is payable.
(d) A license renewal may be administratively granted unless a protest is made to the board.
(e) If the board prescribes the term of a license under this chapter for a period other than one year, the board shall prorate the applicable annual fee required under this chapter as necessary to reflect the term of the license.
