I've received letters (sent via bro_dcast e-mail to many inspectors) from two schools asking if anyone will be interested in sponsoring current students or those about to complete hours.
I have no clue how many responded with a yes/no to the question.
It sounded as if they may be scrambling to some degree.
RE: Texas Legislature ... TREC ?
I've been told or read (or something ... assuming I remember correctly) where TREC only puts into motion the rules that the legislature approves.
RE: E&O
If an inspector lets his license go "inactive" and at some point in the future wants to "re-activate" will he/she have to prove continuing E&O coverage during that time frame of "inactivity"? Continuing Education credits must still be maintained during the "inactive" time ... wonder if continuing E&O coverage will be required? Hummm ?? !!
Further on above RE: E&O ...
535.211 (b) indicates coverage required when license is "active".
But (now talk about parsing a statement) if the license goes "inactive" and then the inspector wants to "re-activate" or "renew" ... look at what 535.211 (e) states: (e) An inspector must retain sufficient records of professional liability ins_rance coverage to document to the commission continuous coverage for the preceding two year license period.
I know, I know ... I'm reading between lines here.
I think I'll plan on a Shiner Bock before too long this afternoon!
