(3) not a subcontractor nor a consultant of
the Architect or architectural firm under contract with a client except as

on behalf of the business association, enter into a written agreement of
association with the Nonregistrant whereby the Architect or the architectural
firm agrees to be responsible for the preparation of all Construction Documents
issued by the association.

when the agreement to associate is effective;
(2) The name, address, telephone number,
registration number, and signature of the Architect or the Principal on behalf
of an architectural firm which has agreed to associate with the

(c) The Architect or Principal shall prepare
or exercise Supervision and Control over the preparation of all Construction

prepared and issued as described in subsection (e). All Construction Documents
prepared pursuant to the association described in this section shall be sealed,
signed, and dated in accordance with the provisions of Subchapter F.
(d) The Architect who seals Construction
Documents on behalf of the association shall retain paper or electronic copies
of them, together with the written agreement of association, and make them
available for review by the Board for ten (10) years after the date of the
Architect's signature on the Construction Documents.
(e) If, pursuant to §
1051.606(b)
of the Texas Occupations Code, a Texas Architect associates with a person who
is not a Texas Architect but is duly registered as an architect in another
jurisdiction and does not maintain or open an office in Texas, The Texas
Architect shall, at a minimum, exercise Responsible Charge over the preparation
of all Construction Documents issued for use in Texas as a result of the
association. The Texas Architect shall seal, sign, and date all Construction
Documents issued for use in Texas as a result of the association in the same
manner as if the Architect had prepared the Construction Documents or they had
been prepared under the Architect's Supervision and Control. All other
requirements of this section relating to associations apply to an association
between an Architect and a person registered as an architect in another
jurisdiction regardless of whether the Texas Architect or the architect from
another jurisdiction acts as the "consultant" as that term is used in §
1051.606(b)
of the Texas Occupations Code.
