Executive Summary
TEXAS ANNUAL LICENSING FEES FOR IN-STATE DEVICE COMPANIES ONLY will be required beginning Jan. 1, 1996, according to staffers at the Texas Department of Health (TDH). A measure passed May 27 by the Texas state legislature repeals licensing fees on non-Texan U.S. device companies that ship products into the state, but continues to require payment from Texan device manufacturers and distributors. The amendment will take effect on Sept. 1.
