Commentary

Health Spas are governed by Chapter 702 of the Texas Occupations Code (the “Health Spa Act”) and the

secretary of state’s administrative rules found in 1 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 102. Section

702.102 of the Health Spa Act sets forth the requirements for the issuance of a certificate of registration

enabling a person to operate a health spa or offer for sale or sell a membership in a health spa. The

Health Spa Act requires a separate registration for each health spa location.

Certificates of registration are effective as of the date of issuance and are not transferrable. The

certificate expires one year from the date of issuance and may be renewed. Any changes to the

information provided on the application must be filed with the secretary of state within 90 days of the

change. Form 3009 may be used to amend the total number of and amount paid for prepaid

memberships.

Instructions for Form

application or an application for renewal. If it is a renewal, the registration number assigned by

the secretary of state should be provided to facilitate processing of the document.

• Health Spa Information: The application must set forth the name in which the health spa

intends to conduct business. This must match what is on the surety bond and the contracts.

The application must also include the physical address of the health spa. This is the address

where the actual health spa is located. Please note, each health spa location is required to file a

separate application. Provide the telephone number, and approximate square footage of the health

spa.

The application must include a detailed description of the available or proposed facilities and

services offered at the health spa location, e.g., aerobics, free weights, gymnasiums, running

tracks, racquetball courts, martial arts equipment, exercise equipment, swimming pool, sauna,

diet planning, exercise instruction, instructional classes, etc. This should include the hours of

operation and the availability and access to instructors, trainers, and classes.

Unless the health spa is exempt from the security requirement under subchapter E of the Health

Spa Act, provide the total number of prepaid memberships at the health spa location and the total

amount paid for all of the prepaid memberships. "Prepaid membership" means any membership

for which a member pays consideration in advance for a term that exceeds 31 days. This number

can be 0, but cannot be left blank unless the facility is exempt from the security requirement.

• Applicant Information: The application for registration is filed by the applicant and must set

forth the applicant’s legal name, address, telephone number, and Federal Employer Identification

Number (FEIN). If the applicant is an individual, do not provide the social security number of the

individual in this field. The applicant should also provide a contact telephone number and the

organizational form of the business. If the applicant is a corporation, limited liability company,

or limited partnership, the legal name is the name registered with the secretary of state. These

entities should also provide the registered office on file with the secretary of state.

registered location.

direct control of the health spa and holding any direct or indirect ownership interest.

box address rather that a residence address if privacy concerns are an issue.
