         Sec. 1702.1305.  REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF INSIGNIAS AND

  a guard company.
         (b)  A person may not use an insignia or design on a uniform
  or motor vehicle that will be used by the person or the person's

               (1)  submits the insignia or design to the department;
  and
               (2)  obtains the department's approval to use the
  insignia or design on the uniform or motor vehicle.
         (c)  The board by rule shall prescribe procedures for the
  submission and approval of an insignia or design under this
  section.
         (d)  The rules may require that a person subject to this
  section submit a proposed insignia or design for department
  approval as a part of the person's application for a license if the
  person intends to use an insignia or design in the manner described
  by Subsection (b).
