Admission Requirements in Texas with TWC and TDLR?

I am opening my first cosmetology/esthetics/nail tech/massage school and it will be opening in Texas. I am a novice and need some help. I see on here that Admissions must be in the guidelines of the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), Career Schools and Colleges. However, I believe I must also do the admission requirements of Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Must I understand the Laws and Rules under both agencies and get myself informed with a attorney? Is there another person who can guide me to make sure I understand each section? Is there certain important documents I should see? 

 

Anything is helpful and thank you in advance for your support!

Approach

Each institution has their own set of culture and way of working with students. What has been an approach that has been successful or suggestion of how to better interact with students?

Connecting with our students

Connecting with people is so very important. Its not what we say but how we say it and ensuring our body language lines up with our true intentions. The Communication Essentials course was extremly helpful in fine tuning effective ways to communicate verbally and non verbally. Great course, it is extremely relevant in our personal and professional lives. Thank you!

Students with disabilities

We work with students who have autism and other developmental disabilities.  Many times it's common to address all questions to the parents. I always look at the student when I'm asking a question or they are speaking to me, so that parents do not try to always answer for them.

Listening is the most important step of all

I have always thought I was a decent communicator in my professional career.  Now I can take a closer look at each and every aspect of the communication skills.  I have met with a lot of people between Army Recruiting to many years in Admissions.  One thing that always sticks out is that each person is different.  There is not one standard for all and I treat each person individually.
