(a) On conviction of a person of an offense under the laws of any state or the United States that is a felony or that includes fraud or dishonesty as an element of the offense, after notice and hearing as provided by Section 901.509, the board may:
(1) suspend a certificate or firm license issued under this chapter; or
(2) suspend or refuse to renew a license issued under this chapter.
(b) The period of the suspension or refusal to renew begins on the date of conviction and ends on the date the conviction becomes final or is reversed, set aside, or modified as provided by Subsection (d).
(c) If the conviction becomes final, the board may, without further notice and hearing, take disciplinary action under Section 901.501.
