HE A ORNEY GENERAL OFTEXAS February 15, 1962 Mr. V. D. Housworth Executive Secretary State Board of,Barber Examiners Austin, Texas Opinion NO. WW- 1266 Re: Whether an Assistant Class "B" barber is eligible for Dear Mr. Housworth: a teacher's certificate. You have requested an opinion from this office upon the question of: "In light of amendments made to Sec- tion 9 of the Texas Barber Law, would an Assistant Class 'B' barber be eligible for a Teacher's certificate?" Section g(f) of Article 734a, Vernon's Penal Code, as amended by House Bill.829, Acts of the 57th Legislature, Regular Session, 1961, Chapter 287, page 601, sets forth the requirements which must be met for an applicant to obtain a teacher's certificate from the State Board of Barber Examiners. One of such requirements is set forth in Section 9(f)(2) of Article 734a and pro- vides that the applicant must: "Hold a current certificate as a registered 'Class A' barber under this law." We are therefore of the opinion that in view of the express statutory requirements set forth in Section g(f) of Article 73&a, an Assistant Class "B" barber would not be eligible for a teacher's certificate unless or un- til such applicant holds a current certificate as a regis- ;;gd Class 'A" barber pursuant to the provisions of Article SUMMARY An Assistant Class "B" barber is ineligible for the teaching certi- cate issued pursuant to Section g(f) Mr. V. D. Housworth, page 2 (~-1266) of Article 734a of Vernon's Penal Code. Yours very truly, WILL WILSON P.;FzGrqas Pat Bailey PB:kkc Assistant APPROVED: OPINION COMMITTEE W. V.
