new application is made. If the reason for revocation does apply
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).
Three strikes
If the Texas DPS determines that the person’s license has already
been suspended twice before for the same reason, the license is
revoked on the third occurrence of the same suspendable conduct.
If an LTC is revoked for this reason, the person may apply as a
new applicant two years 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 does apply 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).
Failure to pay fee
If the person submits an application fee that is dishonored
or reversed, DPS may revoke the LTC. See Tex. Gov’t Code
§ 411.186(a).
The requirement of Texas Government Code Section 411.186 that
a person whose LTC was revoked be free of the ineligibility for
two years leads to the apparent result that a person whose LTC is
revoked for a Class A or B misdemeanor or crime of disorderly
conduct would have to wait for two additional years after the
five-year ineligibility period. An LTC holder whose license was
revoked because they were placed on deferred adjudication for a
felony that is exempt from permanent disqualification has to wait
two additional years after the 10-year ineligibility period.
