Official statutory text
(a) If, after examination and analysis, the service finds that a commercial fertilizer is in violation of a provision of this chapter, the service shall petition the district or county court in whose jurisdiction the fertilizer is located for an order for the condemnation and confiscation of the fertilizer. If the court determines that the fertilizer is in violation of this chapter, the fertilizer shall be disposed of by sale or destruction in accordance with the order of the court.
(b) If a condemned commercial fertilizer is sold under Subsection (a) of this section, the proceeds of the sale, less court costs and charges, shall be paid into the state treasury.
(c) If the court finds that a violation of this chapter may be corrected by proper processing or labeling, the court may order that the fertilizer be delivered to the registrant for processing or labeling under the supervision of the service. Before entering that order, the court shall:
(1) enter the decree;
(2) require that all costs, fees, and expenses be paid; and
(3) require the registrant to post good and sufficient bond conditioned on the proper labeling and processing of the fertilizer.
(d) The registrant of the fertilizer shall pay all costs incurred by the service in the supervision of labeling or processing under Subsection (c) of this section. The court shall return the bond to the registrant when the service notifies the court that the commercial fertilizer is no longer in violation of this chapter and that the registrant has paid the expenses of supervision.
