Failure to
Complete the
Renewal Process
(continued)
If CSC does not receive the completed application for
renewal within five days after the expiration date, the
Certificate of Approval becomes inactive. To continue to
operate, the school must submit an application for an
original Certificate of Approval with appropriate fees.
Continuing to operate an unapproved school will result in
additional penalties.
Submitting a partial application will result in a deficiency
report that CSC mails to the school director. The report
outlines all deficient or missing items. The school must
submit the deficient items before the expiration date of the
Certificate of Approval.
Appeal/Hearing
Request
If the school does not come into compliance five days after
the expiration date of the Certificate of Approval, CSC
issues a notice denying the application for the renewed
Certificate of Approval. Within fifteen days of receipt of the
notice of the denial, the school may:
• submit all required items
• request an appeal for a hearing following the instructions
contained in the notice letter.
If the school does not appeal:
Subchapter J,
§132.301 through
§132.306
Subchapter F,
§132.154
• the school or college no longer holds a Certificate of
Approval, and the Texas Education Code, §132.151(1)
prohibits operation of the school
• the school or college must cease operations
• the denial of the Certificate of Approval is final
• the school closes with violations, and the owner can
never reapply for approval to operate any school.
TWC is required to take legal action to prevent a school
from operating without a license.
