UDC to Appendix A: Unified Development Code
Sec. 76-3. Permit issuance, revocation and fee.
(a)   Upon receipt of the application, the Chief of Police shall issue a permit upon the payment of a fee set by resolution of the City Council; provided, however, no permit shall be issued to any applicant if the applicant has been found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction, within the preceding ten years, of the violation of any provision of this chapter or of a criminal offense against property defined in Title 7 of the Texas Penal Code, provided further that violation of any provision of this chapter shall be grounds for denial of such permit. Permits issued hereunder shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance.
(b)   A permit issued hereunder may be revoked, or suspended, for up to six months by the Chief of Police for violation of any provision of this chapter or if a permittee is found guilty of a criminal offense defined in Title 7 of the Texas Penal Code or its criminal equivalents in another state by a court of competent jurisdiction. A permit that has been revoked or suspended shall not be reissued unless the applicant is currently qualified under the terms of this chapter to receive a license. A permit shall be revoked if the permittee fails to meet any of the necessary qualifications to receive a permit. Within ten days of such revocation or suspension by the Chief of Police, the permittee shall have the right of appeal to the City Council whose decision shall be final. A written statement setting for the basis for such appeal shall be filed with the City Secretary within the ten-day time period.
(c)   Upon receipt of an application, the Chief of Police may, upon request, issue a temporary permit upon the payment of a fee set by resolution of City Council which shall be issued upon the same terms and conditions as one-year permits but which shall only be valid for 30 days form the date of issuance.
(d)   Any permit issued hereunder shall be prominently displayed at the place of business so as to be plainly visible by persons transacting business with a dealer.
