2. Under what circumstances can the Texas DPS revoke an LTC?
Texas Government Code Section 411.186 governs LTC revocation
and states that a person’s LTC may be revoked for any of the following

If an LTC is revoked because a person was not entitled to be

after the date of revocation so long as the reason for revocation
no longer applies when the new application is made. If the reason
for revocation exists on the two-year anniversary, the person may
apply for a new LTC two years after the cause no longer exists.
See Tex. Gov’t Code § 411.186(a).

this reason, the person may apply as a new applicant two years
