TDA Inspection
A business must prominently post the certificate of registration where it is in the consumers view.  If a device registration has been expired for more than one year, a new registration is required.

Consumer Information Stickers
Effective September 2011, the Texas Department of Agriculture made the transition from round inspection seals to the new consumer information stickers in an effort to provide better customer service and agency accessibility to the citizens of Texas. 
Consumer information stickers must be affixed to LPG meters and scales.  Replacement stickers may be ordered by submitting an RWM-707 form to the department with the appropriate fees. It is the responsibility of the facility to keep consumer information stickers for all devices at all times.
