Sec. 1201.1025. EXEMPTION FROM RETAILER'S LICENSE
REQUIREMENT. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, in any 12-month
period a person is exempt from holding a retailer's license as
required by Section 1201.101(b) if during that period the person
sells or offers to sell not more than three manufactured homes.
(b) The department by rule shall develop a form necessary
for a person to establish eligibility for the exemption provided by
this section.
