New Barber Law Set to Cut Barber Supply
The September 1 effective barber law requires a registration certificate for all barbers aged 18 or older with six months training and seventh grade education. Certificates renew yearly and may be denied for felony, malpractice, infectious disease, false advertising, alias practice, or drug or immoral conduct. A health certificate is required and board fees total $10, risking a barber shortage after September first.

In Sherman 50 percent and in Denison 64 percent. The lack of birth certificates hampers veterans benefits and inflates infant mortality estimates, prompting state efforts with the Census Bureau to raise Texas birth and death registration to 90 percent.
