The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) recently decided that booth renters will no longer need to apply for or renew their booth rental license. This announcement, effective immediately, will now allow cosmetology license holders to rent booths as long as their cosmetology license has not expired. Booth rental licenses will no longer be issued by TDLR and the relationship between salon owners and employees and independent contractors will remain the same.
