  (1) submit a completed application on a form and in the manner prescribed by the department;
  (2) provide electronic proof of insurance with the coverage required by Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 2402;
  (3) certify that the applicant continues to meet the requirements of Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 2402; and
  (4) pay the fee set out under §95.80.
(c) Late Renewal.
  (1) To maintain continuous licensure, the renewal requirements under this section must be completed prior to the expiration of the permit.
