28 Tex. Admin. Code § 142.11 - Failure To Attend a Benefit Contested Case Hearing
(a) When a party fails to attend a scheduled
contested case hearing for which proper notice was provided, the administrative
law judge shall proceed with the scheduled hearing. Following the close of
evidence, the administrative law judge shall send written notice that the
non-attending party has ten days from the date of receipt of the notice to
respond in writing and show good cause for the party's failure to
attend.
(b) Other parties to the
proceeding may reply, in writing, to the non-attending party's response within
three days of receipt of the response.
(c) The administrative law judge shall issue
a written ruling based on the filings allowed under subsections (a) and (b) of
this section. If the administrative law judge determines that good cause exists
for the failure to attend, the hearing will be rescheduled. If good cause is
not found, or if the non-attending party does not respond to the notice, the
administrative law judge shall issue a decision based on the evidence presented
at the hearing and may recommend the issuance of an administrative
violation.
