1 Tex. Admin. Code § 87.35 - Time for Action
The secretary of state may take disciplinary action for an act or omission which occurred during a prior term of office. The secretary may also require any pending complaints against a notary public that remain at the expiration of the notary public's prior commission to be resolved prior to accepting a renewal or new application for appointment as a notary public. Failure to reach a resolution on an unresolved complaint may result in the rejection of an application for appointment or renewal.
Notes
