Dear Mr. Housworth:                    a teacher's certificate.
          You have requested an opinion from this office
upon the question of:
         "In light of amendments made to Sec-
    tion 9 of the Texas Barber Law, would an
    Assistant Class 'B' barber be eligible for
    a Teacher's certificate?"
          Section g(f) of Article 734a, Vernon's Penal
Code, as amended by House Bill.829, Acts of the 57th
Legislature, Regular Session, 1961, Chapter 287, page

State Board of Barber Examiners. One of such requirements

          "Hold a current certificate as a
     registered 'Class A' barber under this law."

the express statutory requirements set forth in Section
g(f) of Article 73&a, an Assistant Class "B" barber would
not be eligible for a teacher's certificate unless or un-
til such applicant holds a current certificate as a regis-
;;gd Class 'A" barber pursuant to the provisions of Article

                       SUMMARY

         ineligible for the teaching certi-
         cate issued pursuant to Section g(f)
