(1) be submitted to the department on a form prescribed by the department;
(2) be accompanied by any other document or form required by the department;
(3) include the registration fee required under Section 13.1151; and
(4) include documentation of compliance with Section 13.1015.

(d) If a person fails to register or renew a registration as required by this section, the department may not issue a certificate to operate the motor fuel metering device. The department shall issue the certificate when the operator submits to the department the items required by Subsection (b).
(e) The department may assess a late fee if the registration of one or more devices located on a premises is renewed after the end of the registration period because of a registration error, including one or more devices not properly registered, failure to register the correct type of device, or failure to timely register a previously registered device. The amount of the penalty may not exceed $50 per device, with a maximum penalty amount of $500 per year for the premises.
