(A) Before any license as provided in this chapter shall be issued, the applicant shall file with the Controller an instrument nominating and appointing the Controller or the individual performing the duties of this position as his or her true and lawful agent with full power and authority to acknowledge service or notice of process for and on behalf of the applicant in respect to any matters connected with or arising out of the business transacted under the license.
(B) This instrument shall also contain recitals to the effect that the applicant for a license consents and agrees that service of any notice or process may be made upon the Controller, as agent, and when so made shall be taken and held to be as valid as if personally served upon the individual applying for the license under this chapter, according to the law of this or any other state, and waiving all claim or right of error by reason of an acknowledgment of service or manner of service. Immediately upon service of process upon the Controller, as provided in this section, shall send to the licensee at his or her last known address as provided on the application, by regular and certified mail, a copy of the process.
