The provisions of this section apply only to licenses sold through the department's electronic point-of-sale system and do not apply to licenses sold directly via the Internet for printing by the customer.     
       (1) Except as provided in this section, all licenses issued by the department or an agent of the department will conform to format requirements established by the department for a given license year.      
       (2) In negotiating contract provisions regarding the license sales system, the department will consider the following guidelines regarding license format and legibility:                (A) Licenses issued by the department or an agent of the department should be:                    (i) printed on durable paper (or plastic);                     (ii) waterproof;                     (iii) tear resistant; and                     (iv) printed in a fashion that renders the text indelible.                   (B) License print should be:                    (i) a size that is reasonable, within the constraints of the overall size of the license;                     (ii) in no case a font size less than 6pt; and                     (iii) a color that contrasts with the background.                   (C) Information on the license, including tags, will be presented in a consistent and orderly manner and will meet any Texas statutory requirement and/or Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission regulation.                 (D) The executive director may waive the provisions of this section singly or entirely in the event that unforeseeable circumstances or emergencies make it impractical to comply without jeopardizing the ability of the public to purchase and immediately enjoy the privileges of licensure.
