The respondent and the claimant may resolve the claim by agreement at any time. If an agreement is reached, the parties must promptly send written notice to SML by mail (Attn: Legal Division, 2601 N. Lamar Blvd., Suite 201, Austin, Texas 78705) or by email (enforcement@sml.texas.gov). If an agreement is reached, SML may, in its sole discretion, consider the claim withdrawn or hold the claim in abatement pending satisfaction of the agreement. If held in abatement, the claim is deemed withdrawn upon satisfaction of the agreement.
