Sec. 61.49. RENEWAL APPLICATION TRANSMITTED TO COMMISSION

When the renewal application has been filed in accordance with Section 61.48 of this code, the assessor and collector of taxes shall transmit to the commission the original copy of the application plus a certification that all required fees have been paid for the ensuing license period. On receiving the application and certification, the commission or administrator may in its discretion issue a renewal license or reject the application and require the applicant to file an application with the county judge and submit to a hearing as is required in the case of an original application. When an application for renewal is rejected, the applicant is entitled to a refund of any license fee that was paid to the assessor and collector of taxes at the time the renewal application was filed.
