31 TAC § 55.202. Period of Validity; Renewal and Transfer of Permits

(a) Permits issued under authority of this subchapter are valid only during the yearly period for which they are issued without regard to the date on which the permits are acquired. Each yearly permit period begins on September 1 and ends on August 31.

(b) A person possessing a permit issued under this subchapter may renew that permit by submitting a completed permit renewal form and renewal fee to the department prior to the expiration date of the current permit. The department may renew a floating cabin permit only if:

(1) the eligibility requirements set forth in Parks and Wildlife Code, §32.052, have been met; and

(2) a permit renewal form, accompanied by the permit renewal fee specified in Parks and Wildlife Code, §32.055, has been submitted to the department no later than 90 days after the expiration date of the current permit.

(c) Permits that are not renewed within 90 days after expiration will become ineligible for renewal and the affected floating cabin will be subject to removal at the permittee's expense according to the provisions of Parks and Wildlife Code, §32.154. The department shall notify each permittee by certified mail upon determining that a permit has expired and become ineligible for renewal.

(d) A person possessing a permit issued under this subchapter shall notify the department prior to the transfer of the permitted floating cabin to a new permittee. Notification shall be on a form provided by the department.

(e) A person purchasing a permitted floating cabin may not renew the annual permit unless the person has submitted a completed transfer application.
