Tex.
Fam. Code Section 232.011
Action by Licensing Authority
(a)
On receipt of a final order suspending license, the licensing authority shall immediately determine if the authority has issued a license to the individual named on the order and, if a license has been issued:(1)
record the suspension of the license in the licensing authority’s records;(2)
report the suspension as appropriate; and(3)
demand surrender of the suspended license if required by law for other cases in which a license is suspended.(b)
A licensing authority shall implement the terms of a final order suspending license without additional review or hearing. The authority may provide notice as appropriate to the license holder or to others concerned with the license.(c)
A licensing authority may not modify, remand, reverse, vacate, or stay an order suspending license issued under this chapter and may not review, vacate, or reconsider the terms of a final order suspending license.(d)
An individual who is the subject of a final order suspending license is not entitled to a refund for any fee or deposit paid to the licensing authority.(e)
An individual who continues to engage in the business, occupation, profession, or other licensed activity after the implementation of the order suspending license by the licensing authority is liable for the same civil and criminal penalties provided for engaging in the licensed activity without a license or while a license is suspended that apply to any other license holder of that licensing authority.(f)
A licensing authority is exempt from liability to a license holder for any act authorized under this chapter performed by the authority.(g)
Except as provided by this chapter, an order suspending license or dismissing a petition for the suspension of a license does not affect the power of a licensing authority to grant, deny, suspend, revoke, terminate, or renew a license.(h)
The denial or suspension of a driver’s license under this chapter is governed by this chapter and not by the general licensing provisions of Chapter 521 (Driver’s Licenses and Certificates), Transportation Code.(i)
An order issued under this chapter to suspend a license applies to each license issued by the licensing authority subject to the order for which the obligor is eligible. The licensing authority may not issue or renew any other license for the obligor until the court or the Title IV-D agency renders an order vacating or staying an order suspending license.
