(3) not a subcontractor nor a consultant of
the Registered Interior Designer or Interior Design firm under contract with a
client except as described in subsection (e) of this section shall, prior to
providing such services on behalf of the business association, enter into a
written agreement of association with the Nonregistrant whereby the Registered
Interior Designer or the Interior Design firm agrees to be responsible for the
preparation of all Construction Documents issued by the association.
(b) The written agreement of
association shall include the following:
(1)
The date when the agreement to associate is effective;
(2) The name, address, telephone number,
registration number, and signature of the Registered Interior Designer or the
Principal on behalf of the Interior Design firm which has agreed to associate
with the Nonregistrant;
(3) The

the Registered Interior Designer or Principal has agreed to

(c) The
Registered Interior Designer shall prepare or exercise Supervision and Control
over the preparation of all Construction Documents issued by the association
unless the Construction Documents are prepared and issued as described in
subsection (e) of this section. 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 Registered Interior Designer 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 Registered Interior Designer's signature on the Construction
Documents.
(e) If, pursuant to
§
1053.002(b)
of the Texas Occupations Code, a Texas Registered Interior Designer associates
with a person who is not a Texas Registered Interior Designer but is registered
as an interior designer in another jurisdiction and does not maintain or open
an office in Texas, the Texas Registered Interior Designer 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 Registered
Interior Designer 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
Registered Interior Designer had prepared the Construction Documents or they
had been prepared under the Registered Interior Designer's Supervision and
Control. All other requirements of this section relating to associations apply
to an association between a Registered Interior Designer and a person
registered as an interior designer in another jurisdiction regardless of
whether the Texas Registered Interior Designer or the interior designer from
another jurisdiction acts as the "consultant" as that term is used in §
1053.002(b)
of the Texas Occupations Code.
