(a) Should an applicant fail to meet the requirements for original or renewal licensing set out in this chapter, the commission shall have written notification prepared promptly and mailed to the applicant. The notice shall specify the reason for the applicant's failure to qualify for license and advise the applicant of the right to request a hearing.

(b) Within 30 days of the notice of denial, an applicant for license under this chapter who is denied a license may request a hearing to determine whether or not the applicant has complied in all respects with the licensing procedure applicable to each type of license sought. The applicant's request for hearing must be in writing and delivered to the commission.

(c) A hearing to determine an applicant's compliance with the licensing procedure applicable to each type of license sought must be scheduled within 30 days following receipt of a request under Subsection (b) of this section.

(d) If the record made at the hearing supports the applicant's claim, the commission shall enter an order in its records to that effect, noting each type of license to which the applicant is found entitled, and the commission shall have the license or licenses issued. If the applicant is found unqualified, the commission shall likewise enter an order in its records to that effect, and no license may be issued to the applicant.
