(b)

Within the time permitted by law for appeal, a person who acts under Subsection (a)(3) may:

stay enforcement of the penalty by:

(A)

paying the amount of the penalty to the court for placement in an escrow account; or

(B)

giving the court a supersedeas bond that is approved by the court for the amount of the penalty and that is effective until all judicial review of the order is final; or
