Sec. 1305.167.   License Renewal.
a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), a license expires annually on December 31 and may be renewed annually on payment of the required renewal fee.
b) The executive director by rule may adopt a system under which licenses expire on various dates during the year.  For the year in which the license expiration date is changed, renewal fees payable on or before December 31 shall be prorated on a monthly basis so that each license holder pays only that portion of the renewal fee that is applicable to the number of months during which the license is valid.  On renewal of the license on the new expiration date, the total renewal fee is due.
c) Not later than the 30th day preceding the expiration date of a person's license, the department shall notify the person in writing, at the person's last known mailing address, of the impending license expiration.  A person may renew an unexpired license by paying to the department, before the license expiration date, the required renewal fee.
