STATE LOTTERY > LICENSING OF SALES AGENTS
Short Summary
This legal document governs the licensing of sales agents for the Texas State Lottery. It states that individuals authorized by the executive director to sell tickets must be licensed as sales agents by the commission. The executive director has the authority to establish provisional licenses or other classes of licenses to regulate and administer the quantity and type of lottery games at each licensed location. The document also emphasizes the director’s attempt to license minority businesses as sales agents in at least 20 percent of the licenses issued. Licenses cannot be transferred or assigned to other persons or locations. The director may issue a license to a person only if their experience, character, and general fitness do not detract from the integrity, security, honesty, and fairness of the lottery operation. Applicants for a license must apply to the division and provide necessary information to determine their eligibility. The application fee, set by the director, must cover the costs incurred by the division and the Department of Public Safety for processing the application. The document outlines the requirements for notifying the director of any changes in the applicant’s or sales agent’s information, considerations for issuing a license, denial, suspension, or revocation of licenses, posting of licenses, license expiration and renewal, and the summary suspension of a sales agent’s license. It also provides immunity from civil liability for sales agents acting in good faith within the scope of their license, with exceptions for personal injury or wrongful death claims.
