(a) A person required to be licensed as a pesticide dealer by the Act, §76.071, shall maintain a record of each distribution of a restricted-use pesticide, state-limited-use pesticide, or regulated herbicide for a period of two years.
(b) The record of each distribution required to be kept by this section shall be kept separate from the person's other business records and shall contain:
(1) the name, address, applicator license or certificate number, dealer license number, or veterinary license number of the person to whom the pesticide is distributed;
(2) the date of the distribution;
(3) the brand name and the EPA registration number of the pesticide distributed;

(5) the name and address of any person who took delivery of the pesticide on behalf of, and acting under the authorization of the responsible licensed or certified applicator, including distributions to any entity on behalf of a Texas-licensed pesticide dealer.
(6) if a pesticide that has been classified as a state-limited-use pesticide or a regulated herbicide but not a restricted-use pesticide under FIFRA is made available to an unlicensed person that resides out-of-state, and the person does not intend to use the pesticide in this state, the name and out-of-state address of the person. If the person holds a valid applicator license issued by another state or federal agency, the dealer must record that license number and the state or federal agency that issued the license.
(c) Records of distribution shall be kept current and maintained at the place of business where distribution occurs as designated on the pesticide dealer's license.

Reports must be submitted to the department no later than 15 days after each reporting period. If no such distributions were made for in a quarterly reporting period, the dealer shall submit a letter to the department no later than 15 days after the ending day of that reporting period stating that no such distributions were made. Forms for submitting distribution records under this subsection may be obtained from the department. If the department form is not used, the form submitted must contain all the information required by this section.
