- (a) If a payment to the Commission by or on behalf of a license holder or applicant is dishonored or reversed by a bank or other financial institution, the Commission shall charge the fee to the license holder or applicant for processing the dishonored or reversed payment required by §535.101(b)(23) of this title (relating to Fees). The Commission shall notify the license holder or applicant of the fee by sending a request for payment of the dishonored or reversed payment and the processing fee by certified mail to the last known mailing address of the license holder or applicant as shown in the records of the Commission.

- (b) Collection of the fee imposed under this section does not preclude the Commission from proceeding under Texas Occupations Code, §1101.652(a)(3), against a license holder who has failed to make good a payment issued to the Commission within a reasonable time.
