Texas booth & suite renters

Booth rental insurance in Texas

If you rent a chair by the hour and have no employees, the online solo policy usually fits. If you lease a room or suite by the week or month — or run a mini-establishment — ask Amanda for a custom quote.

How Texas treats booth renters

Direct answer: Texas no longer requires a separate booth-rental license for most chair renters. Your individual TDLR practitioner license covers you when you rent a booth inside a licensed establishment. An enclosed suite operated independently may need a mini-establishment license ($70 application fee on TDLR's fee schedule).

Gallery / establishment owners who lease to renters must keep a list of renters with license numbers and expiration dates available for inspectors (16 TAC 83.71).

Many leases still require you to carry liability insurance and name the salon owner as additional insured — which Option 1 can do at no extra charge.
