What information must be reported to the TDLR within a specified timeframe?

The requirement to report a change of name to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is crucial because the name under which a massage therapist operates is often tied to their license status and public identity. When a licensee changes their name, it is essential for accurate record-keeping and to ensure that the individual's professional profile reflects the correct information. This supports transparency and helps maintain the integrity of public records.

Other changes, such as a change of business location, service prices, or operating hours, while relevant, do not carry the same immediate impact on licensing verification and public identification. Thus, these may not have the same urgency or requirement for reporting to the TDLR as a name change does. The focus on name changes highlights the importance of consistent identification in professional practice within the regulatory framework.
