Under what circumstances does a $350.00 penalty occur related to an address change?

The imposition of a $350.00 penalty related to an address change is specifically linked to the failure to notify the appropriate authority within a designated timeframe, which is fourteen days. This requirement ensures that the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has up-to-date and accurate information regarding licensees and their operations. Timely communication of an address change is essential for maintaining regulatory compliance, facilitating inspections, and ensuring that legal documents are sent to the correct location.

By failing to notify within the stipulated fourteen days, an individual or entity may disrupt the administrative process, potentially leading to legal complications or miscommunication with the DPS. This is why the penalty is enforced—it's intended to promote accountability and responsibility among licensed personnel.
