Section 61.03 - Expiration or Suspension of License(a) Except as provided by Subsections (d) and (e) or another provision of this code, any license except a branch license expires on the second anniversary of the date on which it is issued.(b) A secondary license or certificate which requires the holder of the license or certificate to first obtain another license, including a retailer late hours certificate, expires on the same date the basic or primary license expires. The commission may not prorate or refund any part of the fee for the secondary license or certificate if the application of this section results in the expiration of the license in less than two years.(c) An action by the commission resulting in the suspension of a basic or primary license also acts to suspend any secondary license held by the holder of the basic or primary license.(d) The commission by rule may require that the expiration date for an individual license holder's license is the first anniversary of the date on which the license is issued due to the license holder's violation history.(e) The commission may issue a license with an expiration date less than two years after the date the license is issued in order to maintain a reasonable annual distribution of renewal application review work and license fees. If the commission issues a license with an expiration date less than two years after the date the license is issued, the commission shall prorate the license fee on a monthly basis so that the license holder pays only that portion of the license fee that is allocable to the number of months during which the license is valid.Tex.
