Now, I put that experience to work for founders and business owners who need practical, straightforward legal guidance without the intimidating price tag of a major law firm. Whether you're signing your first vendor contract, structuring a partnership, protecting your intellectual property, or navigating a business dispute, I translate the law into plain language so you can make confident decisions and focus on growing your business. What I bring to the table: - Complex commercial transactions experience at an AmLaw 100 firm - 7+ years as in-house counsel at a Fortune 500 company - Deep understanding of how businesses actually operate day-to-day - Flat-fee, transparent pricing with no billing surprises - Fast turnaround and direct communication If you're building something, I want to help you protect it.
"Chaz was extremely helpful, thorough, and professional. I hired him for a cease and desist letter involving an unauthorized use of my company’s business identity, EIN, and credit. He took the time to review the documents carefully, explain the legal issues in plain English, and help me understand the strengths and challenges of my situation. What stood out most was how organized he was. He prepared a legal analysis memo before our call, walked me through the authority issues, and adjusted his approach after reviewing additional company documents. He was patient, clear, and never made me feel rushed, even though the situation involved several complicated details. The final work product was strong, detailed, and tailored to my specific facts rather than feeling like a generic template. I would definitely recommend Chaz to anyone who needs a knowledgeable attorney who communicates clearly and takes the time to understand the full picture."

Beauty Salon License
Texas
What are the requirements for obtaining a beauty salon license?
I am interested in opening a beauty salon in my city, but I am unsure about the specific requirements for obtaining a beauty salon license. I have done some research online, but the information I found is confusing and incomplete. I want to make sure I comply with all the necessary regulations and understand the process involved in obtaining the license, so that I can operate my salon legally and avoid any potential issues in the future.
Randy M.
Opening a beauty salon in Texas? There’s a clear process you’ll need to follow, and it runs through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, or TDLR. At first glance, it might feel like a lot, but once you understand how the steps fit together, it becomes much easier to manage—and far less likely you'll run into compliance issues later on. Let’s start with the license itself. To legally run your salon, you’ll need a Full-Service Establishment License. It costs $78 and is valid for two years. This license applies to the business, not the individual professionals working there. So your stylists, estheticians, or nail techs will still need to carry their own valid licenses. From the day you apply, the state gives you one full year to meet all the setup requirements. I wouldn’t recommend waiting that long. You’ll want to get your location and documentation ready as early as possible. As for the application, you’re better off submitting it online. Processing is noticeably faster than mailing a paper version. TDLR will ask for details about your business structure—whether that’s a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation—and they’ll also need information on all business owners. Just keep in mind that the $78 fee is non-refundable. Make sure everything is in order before you hit submit. Now, let’s talk about your physical space. Your salon needs to be in a dedicated commercial area. It cannot double as a living space—no exceptions. If your location is connected to your home, it must have a separate entrance that stays closed during all business hours. The flooring throughout service areas must be non-porous and non-absorbent. Ceilings and walls should be clean and in good repair, and you’ll need proper ventilation to keep chemical fumes under control. You’ll also need at least one restroom either inside the facility or very close by, plus a sink with hot and cold water in the actual service area. These aren’t suggestions. They’re required standards, and an inspector will be checking for each one during your licensing inspection. When it comes to equipment, the specifics will vary depending on the services you offer. But across the board, you’ll need basics like a working station for each provider, styling chairs, and enough shampoo bowls to handle full-service operations. Sanitation is another major focus. You’re expected to have a wet disinfectant container big enough to fully immerse tools, proper bins for dirty towels and linens, covered trash containers, and dry storage for clean items. Planning to offer nail services? Then you’ll need sterilization equipment like an autoclave or a dry heat sterilizer. UV sanitizers can only be used after implements are already clean. They don’t count as a substitute for sterilization, and that matters when it comes to passing inspection. Another thing: signage. There are several items that must be clearly visible to customers. These include your TDLR license, a consumer complaint sign with the department’s contact info, and a human trafficking awareness sign. That last one became mandatory in 2022 and must be posted in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. You also need a sign stating that your latest inspection report is available on request and another one displaying the state’s sanitation rules. While it’s a good idea to keep the full laws and rules book on hand, the law specifically requires the sanitation rules to be posted where people can see them. Notably, Texas doesn’t require you to have an exterior sign with your business name, though most salons choose to display one for clarity (and marketing!). Now, about your staff. You don’t need a cosmetology license to own the business, but every person performing services absolutely must have a valid Texas license in their specialty. For cosmetologists, that means an Operator License. It requires 1,000 training hours, a passing score on both written and practical exams, and a $50 application fee. There's also a recent change you should be aware of. As of September 1, 2025, continuing education requirements will depend on how long someone’s been licensed. If it’s been less than 15 years, they’ll need four hours every two years: one hour in sanitation, two in cosmetology-related topics, and one hour on human trafficking prevention. Those with 15 or more years of experience only need two hours—one in sanitation and one in human trafficking prevention. If you're leasing chairs or space to independent contractors, your business will be classified as a “gallery establishment.” That means submitting an Independent Contractor List with your application, and you’ll be responsible for maintaining shared areas. Thinking of going mobile? There’s a separate set of rules for that. You’ll need either a GPS tracker or a system for submitting weekly itineraries, vehicle safety compliance, and all the same sanitation and equipment standards traditional salons have. Your mobile unit must also display its license number and business name on both sides. Let’s cover inspections. TDLR will conduct them to make sure your salon is safe and sanitary. They’re focused on preventing infections, burns, and other health risks. You’re required to cooperate during inspections, and inspection reports are public records. Customers can request them, so it’s important to stay compliant. Inspectors will check your equipment, signage, sanitation practices, and overall cleanliness. Your establishment license is good for two years, but don’t rely on a renewal reminder. TDLR usually sends one about 60 days in advance, but it’s ultimately your responsibility to renew on time. If you’re up to 90 days late, the fee jumps to 1.5 times the regular amount. Past 90 days, you’ll pay double—assuming you’re still within the 18-month grace period. Bottom line? This process can take anywhere from one to six weeks once you’ve submitted everything correctly. So it’s smart to begin by locking in a location that meets the requirements. From there, get clear on the services you’ll offer. That determines your equipment needs and compliance checklist. Don’t rush through this. A little extra time spent upfront can save you from fines, delays, or worse later. The state’s regulations are in place for good reason. When you meet these requirements, you’re not only protecting yourself legally but also building trust and credibility in your community. Best wishes to you!
