Texas Attorney General Opinion
Family Code subsection 231.302(c)(1) unambiguously requires that occupational licensing authorities request and each applicant provide their social security number. As such, agencies cannot solicit or accept attestations that an applicant does not have a social security number. Prior reliance on the nonbinding federal guidance in PIQ-99-05 is misplaced, and Attorney General Opinion JC-0409 as well as its progeny are overruled.
