Administrative law – Emails with agency staff insufficient to constitute request for hearing.
Udenze v. Johnston, No. 03-22-00084-CV (Tex. App.—Austin June 22, 2023, no pet. h.) (mem. op.).
DMV sent Udenze notice of a decision that revoked his dealer license and assessed sanctions. The notice informed Udenze of the requirement and deadline to request an administrative hearing. Although Udenze exchanged emails with DMV staff, Udenze did not request a hearing and the sanctions-order became final. DMV denied Udenze’s motion for rehearing.
