AUSTIN –The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation entered into Agreed Orders with two individuals for an unlicensed activity violation. TDLR is often asked who is charged with the violation when an independent contractor leases space without a booth rental license; the shop owner or the independent contractor. The answer is they both are cited for a violation, just as Harshbarger Yong Hui and Miguel Garcia were.
Harshbarger Yong Hui, d/b/a Hair Expression of Fort Worth, Texas, leased space to Miguel Garcia and allowed him to practice as an independent contractor without having a booth rental license. This is in violation of Texas Administrative Code 82.70(f) and Hui was fined $750.
Miguel C. Garcia, the independent contractor with no booth rental license, leased space on the premises of Hair Expression and was cited a $750 fine for violating the same provision.
Before leasing space it is the responsibility of the shop owner to make sure the independent contractor has a valid booth rental license. The independent contractor is charged with securing the license before operating in leased space.###
