Homepage ↝ Blank Texas Tdlr Bar Form
Outline

The Texas TDLR Bar Form is a crucial document for individuals and businesses seeking to operate a barber shop in Texas. This application form serves multiple purposes, including the submission of necessary details about the shop, its owners, and compliance with state regulations. Applicants must provide the shop's name, opening date, business hours, and both mailing and physical addresses. Additionally, the form requires information about ownership, including the names and contact details of individuals holding 25% or more ownership. It is essential to indicate whether the shop is also a licensed cosmetology salon. The form consists of two pages and must be filled out accurately, as providing false information can lead to severe penalties, including license revocation. Compliance with health and safety regulations is also a critical aspect, with specific requirements regarding sanitation, signage, and operational conditions that must be met before a barber shop can commence business. Understanding these components is vital for a successful application and operation within the state's legal framework.

82.100. Health and Safety Definitions. (Rule effective March 1, 2006, 31 TexReg 1297; amended effective August 1, 2006, 31 TexReg 5947; amended effective January 1, 2008, 32 TexReg 9966; amended effective February 1, 2012, 37 TexReg 319)

The following words and terms, when used in this chapter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

(1)Chlorine bleach solutions--A chemical used to destroy bacteria and to disinfect implements and non-porous surfaces; solution should be mixed fresh at least once per day. As used in this chapter, chlorine bleach solutions fall into three categories based on concentration and exposure time:

(A)Low level disinfection (100 - 200 ppm)--Add two teaspoons household (5.25%) bleach to one gallon water. Soak 10 minutes minimum.

(B)High level disinfection (1,000 ppm)--Add one-third (1/3) cup household (5.25%) bleach to one gallon water. Soak 20 minutes minimum.

(C)Blood and body fluid cleanup and disinfection (5,000 ppm)--Add one-and-three- quarters (1 ¾) cups household (5.25%) bleach to one gallon water. Also referred to as 10% bleach solution.

(2)Clean or cleansing--Washing with liquid soap and water, detergent, antiseptics, or other adequate methods to remove all visible debris or residue. Cleansing is not disinfection.

(3)Disinfect or disinfection--The use of chemicals to destroy pathogens on implements and other non-porous surfaces to render an item safe for handling, use, and disposal.

(4)Disinfectant--In this chapter, one of the following department-approved chemicals:

(A)an EPA-registered bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal disinfectant used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;

(B)a chlorine bleach solution used in accordance with this chapter; or

(C)an Isopropyl alcohol used at a concentration of at least 70% and ethyl alcohol used at a concentration of at least 90%.

(5)EPA-registered bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal disinfectant--When used according to manufacturer’s instructions, a chemical that is a low-level disinfectant used to destroy bacteria and to disinfect implements and non-porous surfaces.

(6)Isopropyl or Ethyl alcohol--Isopropyl alcohol used at a concentration of at least 70% and ethyl alcohol used at a concentration of at least 90% are chemicals that are a low- level disinfectant used to destroy bacteria and to disinfect implements.

(7)Multi-use items--Items constructed of hard materials with smooth surfaces such as metal, glass, or plastic typically for use on more than one client. The term includes but is not limited to such items as clippers, scissors, combs, nippers, and some nails files.

(8)Single-use items--Porous items made or constructed of cloth, wood, or other absorbent materials having rough surfaces usually intended for single use including but not limited to such items as tissues, orangewood sticks, cotton balls, some buffer blocks, and gauze.

(9)Sterilize or sterilization--To eliminate all forms of bacteria or other microorganisms by use of an autoclave, or dry heat sterilizer.

Revised 02-2012

TexReg 1297; amended effective August 1, 2006, 31 TexReg 5947)

(a)EPA-registered bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal disinfectants shall be used as follows:

(1)Implements and surfaces shall first be thoroughly cleaned of all visible debris prior to disinfection. EPA-registered bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal disinfectants become inactivated and ineffective when visibly contaminated with debris, hair, dirt and particulates.

(2)Some disinfectants may be sprayed on the instruments, tools, or equipment to be disinfected.

(3)Disinfectants in which implements are to be immersed shall be prepared fresh daily or more often if solution becomes diluted or soiled.

(4)In all cases the disinfectant shall be used in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendation or other guidance in this rule.

(5)These chemicals are harsh and may affect the long term use of scissors and other sharp objects. Therefore, the Department recommends leaving items in solution in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendation for effective disinfection.

(b)Chlorine bleach solutions shall be used as follows:

(1)Chlorine bleach at the appropriate concentration is an effective disinfectant for all purposes in a salon.

(2)Chlorine bleach solutions shall be mixed daily.

(3)Chlorine bleach shall be kept in a closed covered container and not exposed to sunlight.

(4)Chlorine bleach may affect the long-term use of scissors and other sharp objects so the Department does not recommend leaving items in bleach solution beyond 2 minutes for effective disinfection (5 minutes if disinfecting for blood contamination).

(5)Chlorine bleach vapors might react with vapors from other chemicals. Therefore chlorine bleach shall not be placed or stored near other chemicals used in salons (i.e. acrylic monomers, alcohol, or other disinfecting products) or near flame.

(6)Used or soiled chlorine bleach solution shall be properly disposed of each day.

(c)Isopropyl or Ethyl alcohols shall be used as follows:

(1)isopropyl alcohol at a concentration of at least 70% and ethyl alcohol at a concentration of at least 90% are low-level disinfectants.

(2)Alcohol shall not be used to clean and disinfect blood or body fluid.

(3)All alcohol shall be kept in a covered container. Alcohol deteriorates in some plastics, metals and rubber items.

(4)Alcohol may affect the long-term use of scissors and other sharp objects.

Revised 02-2012

(5)The Department recommends leaving items in alcohol in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation for effective disinfection. When using alcohol on surfaces other than non-porous materials, the time of contact shall be between 1 to 3 minutes after proper cleaning that removed all visible debris.

(6)Alcohol may be sprayed onto porous or absorbent surfaces after cleaning, with contact time on the surface of the item for at least 1 minute, provided the porous items have not contacted broken or unhealthy skin or nails.

Common mistakes

Completing the Texas TDLR Bar form can be a straightforward process, but there are common mistakes that applicants often make. Awareness of these pitfalls can significantly improve the chances of a successful application. One frequent error is neglecting to provide all required information. Each section of the form must be filled out completely. Leaving out details, even seemingly minor ones, can lead to delays or rejections.

Another common mistake is not typing or printing in ink as specified. The instructions clearly state that all information must be typed or printed in ink. Using pencil or failing to adhere to this guideline may result in the application being deemed invalid. It is essential to follow these instructions closely to ensure the application is processed without issues.

Many applicants also mistakenly submit the form without verifying the accuracy of the information provided. Simple typos or incorrect details, such as misspelled names or wrong addresses, can cause significant complications. Double-checking each entry can prevent unnecessary setbacks and ensure that the application reflects accurate information.

Some individuals overlook the requirement to list two choices for the shop name. Providing only one option can lead to delays, as the application cannot be processed without this crucial detail. It is advisable to prepare a list of potential names in advance to avoid this oversight.

Additionally, applicants sometimes fail to include the correct fee amount. The form requires a fee of $60, and submitting an incorrect amount can lead to the application being returned. It is wise to check the payment instructions and ensure that the fee is included in the correct format.

Not providing contact information is another mistake that can hinder communication. The form requests a mailing address, phone number, and email address. If this information is missing or incorrect, it may prevent the TDLR from reaching out for any clarifications or updates regarding the application.

Some applicants also neglect to sign and date the application. This step is crucial, as an unsigned form is considered incomplete. Ensure that both the owner and any corporate officers sign the application where indicated to avoid this error.

Finally, another common oversight is not keeping a copy of the submitted application. Retaining a copy for personal records can be invaluable for future reference or in case of any follow-up inquiries. By being mindful of these common mistakes, applicants can enhance their chances of a smooth and successful application process.
