## Text

(a) To renew a license, an applicant must:
(1) comply with applicable requirements of the Act
 and this chapter;
(2) submit a completed application in the manner prescribed
 by the department; and
(3) pay the applicable fee required under §83.80.
(b) In addition to the requirements of subsection (a),
 an applicant must complete the continuing education requirements under §83.25
 to renew a practitioner license.
(c) To renew and maintain continuous licensure, the
 renewal requirements under this section must be completed prior to
 the expiration of the license. A late renewal means the licensee will
 have an unlicensed period from the expiration date of the expired
 license to the issuance date of the renewed license. During the unlicensed
 period, a person may not perform any act of barbering or cosmetology
 that requires a license under this chapter.
(d) Non-receipt of a license renewal notice from the
 department does not exempt a person from any requirements of this
 chapter.
