				  renew a license or registration that has expired for 90 days or less by
				  submitting to the board the required annual renewal fee, a late renewal fee and
				  the continuing professional education documentation as required in §
				  138.17 of this chapter (relating to Continuing Professional Education).
(b) A license or registration
				  holder may renew a license or registration that has expired for more than 90
				  days but less than one year by submitting to the board the required annual
				  renewal fee, a late renewal fee and the continuing professional education
				  documentation as required in § 138.17 of this chapter.
(c) A license or registration holder may
				  renew a license or registration that has expired for more than one year but
				  less than two years by submitting to the board the required annual renewal fee,
				  a late renewal fee and the continuing professional education documentation as
				  required in § 138.17 of this chapter for each delinquent year or part of a
				  year.
(d) A license or
				  registration which has been expired for two years may not be renewed, but the
				  former license holder may apply for a new license or registration as provided
				  in the current Surveying Act and applicable board rules. Military service
				  members, as defined in Texas Occupations Code, §
										55.001(4),
				  may be granted up to two years of additional time to renew a license or
				  registration.
(e) Annual renewal
				  fees or late renewal fees will not be refunded unless incorrect fee was
				  assessed through a documented procedural error by Board staff.
(f) In strict accordance with the provisions
				  of the Texas Family Code, Chapter 232, pertaining to delinquent child support,
				  if a license or registration holder's name has been provided by the OAG (Office
				  of the Attorney General) as being in default of child support, the board shall
				  not renew the license or registration of the license or registration holder on
				  the renewal date following such notification. The board shall not renew or
				  reinstate said license or registration unless the OAG certifies the individual
				  has satisfied the requirements of the Texas Family Code, Chapter 232.
(g) Pursuant to Texas Occupations
				  Code Chapter 55, a license or registration holder is exempt from any penalty
				  imposed in this section for failing to renew the license or registration in a
				  timely manner if the license or registration holder provides adequate
				  documentation, including copies of orders, to establish to the satisfaction of
				  the board that the license or registration holder failed to renew in a timely
				  manner because the license or registration holder was serving as a military
				  service member as defined in Texas Occupations Code, §
										55.001(4).
