(a) A party who has exhausted all administrative remedies
may appeal a final order in a Travis County district court under Government
Code, Chapter 2001, and subject to Occupations Code, §2301.609.
(b) A party appealing a final order must serve a copy
of the petition for judicial review on the department and all parties
of record. After service of the petition and within the time allowed
for filing an answer, the department shall transmit to the reviewing
court the original or a certified copy of the entire record of the
proceeding. If the court orders that new evidence be presented to
a hearings examiner, the hearings examiner may modify the findings
and decision or order by reason of the new evidence and shall transmit
the additional record to the court.
