(a) To renew a used automotive parts recycling business license, an applicant must:      
        (1) submit a completed application on a department-approved form;       
        (2) provide a valid federal tax identification number;       
        (3) file proof of insurance in accordance with §87.40;       
        (4) provide proof of a storm water permit, if required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality;       
        (5) successfully pass a criminal background check; and       
        (6) pay the applicable fee required under §87.85.       
      (b) To renew and maintain continuous licensure, the renewal requirements under this section must be completed prior to the expiration of the license. A late renewal means the licensee will have an unlicensed period from the expiration date of the expired license to the issuance date of the renewed license. During the unlicensed period, a person may not perform any functions of an automotive parts recycling business that requires a license under this chapter.     
      (c) Non-receipt of a license renewal notice from the department does not exempt a person from any requirements of this chapter.
