(b) A person licensed under this chapter must notify the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized designee not later than the 10th day after the date of any change in the person's name for the issuance of an amended license.

(d) A residential mortgage loan originator may not conduct business under any assumed name that is not the registered assumed name of the entity licensed or registered under this chapter or Chapter 156 that is sponsoring the originator.

(e) A fee under this section is not refundable and may not be credited or applied to any other fee or indebtedness owed by the person paying the fee.
