What this document covers

This guide provides a compliant booth rental agreement template and classification guidance to avoid TWC audits and IRS misclassification penalties.

Frequently asked questions

Is booth rental explicitly legal in Texas?

Yes. Texas Occupations Code §1602.406 specifically addresses salon booth rental. However, the arrangement must genuinely reflect independent contractor status — not just a label on an employee relationship.

Can I set a booth renter's hours?

No. Setting hours is a behavioral control indicator of employment. Genuine booth renters determine their own schedule. You can set facility operating hours.
