34 Tex. Admin. Code § 43.211 - Appearance and Representation
(a) A party or
person seeking to be admitted as a party may appear at a hearing or prehearing
conference in person or by an attorney. A natural person may not be represented
by another person who is not an attorney. An entity other than a natural person
that is a party or that seeks to be admitted as a party may appear through a
person with legal authority to act on behalf of the entity, such as an officer,
director, or trustee, or may be represented by an attorney.
(b) An attorney representing a person or
party in a proceeding must be authorized to practice law in the court of
highest jurisdiction of any state of the United States or the District of
Columbia. The attorney of record of any party shall be the attorney who signs
the first pleading filed on behalf of the party or who files with TRS or the
administrative law judge, as applicable, a written notice signed by the party
designating the attorney as attorney of record in the case. An attorney
appearing on behalf of a party may be required to show authority to act for the
party. Nothing in this subchapter shall be interpreted to require a party to
the hearing to be represented by counsel.
