Texas Administrative Code › Title 22 - EXAMINING BOARDS › Part 10 - TEXAS FUNERAL SERVICE COMMISSION › Chapter 203 - LICENSING AND ENFORCEMENT-SPECIFIC SUBSTANTIVE RULES › Subchapter A - LICENSING › Section 203.6 - Provisional License Case and Reporting Requirements

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Forty five (45) cases are required for
				  the provisional funeral director license program, at least 10 of which must be
				  complete cases. A complete funeral directing case consists of all major actions
				  from the time of first call through interment or other disposition of the
				  body.
(b) Forty five (45) cases are
				  required for the provisional embalmer license program, at least 10 of which
				  must be complete cases. A complete embalming requires the provisional embalmer
				  to handle all major actions included in §
										203.32
				  of this title performed on a particular body.
(c) It is the responsibility of the Funeral
				  Director in Charge or the Embalmer in Charge, whichever is applicable, and the
				  provisional licensee to schedule case work sufficient to fulfill the
				  requirements of the provisional program.
(d) Each case on a case report form shall be
				  certified by the licensee under whom the provisional licensee performed the
				  work. Both the supervising licensee and the provisional licensee are subject to
				  disciplinary action if the information submitted to the Commission is not true
				  and accurate.
(e) The provisional
				  licensee must file with the Funeral Director in Charge or the Embalmer in
				  Charge, whichever is applicable, a report outlining the number of cases
				  performed and the name of the funeral director or embalmer under whom the cases
				  were supervised. If a provisional licensee adds/moves to a new funeral
				  establishment or commercial embalming facility, a separate case report form
				  must be started. If a Funeral Director in Charge or the Embalmer in Charge
				  changes, a separate case report form must be started. All signed case report
				  forms accumulated during the provisional period may be used to verify the total
				  number of cases performed.
(f)
				  Provisional licensees shall retain copies of all case report forms with
				  supporting documentation for two years from the completion date of the
				  provisional program.
(g) Of the 45
				  required cases, a provisional license holder may include up to 10 cases
				  performed at an accredited mortuary college whether or not the person held a
				  provisional license at the time the cases were performed and if the college
				  certifies to the Commission that the cases were successfully
				  completed.
(h) Case Reporting for
				  Military Provisional Licensees
(1) This
				  subsection applies to an applicant who is military service member or military
				  veteran as defined by Occupations Code Chapter 55 and does not have an
				  unacceptable criminal history as defined by §
											203.16(h)
				  of this title.
(2) The Commission
				  shall credit verified military service or training of the applicant described
				  under paragraph (1) of this subsection toward the requirements outlined under
				  this section.

				  Transcript, or comparable document issued by the United States military, is
				  required to verify military training or education.
