(b) The Texas Education Agency (TEA) staff may serve
the notice of hearing by sending it certified, return receipt requested,
and regular first-class U.S. mail to the party's last known address.
(c) For purposes of this subsection, the last known
address is:
(1) the address of record of the party or the party's
authorized representative in the contested case, if any; or
(2) if the party has not made an appearance in the
contested case, the last address provided in any response to the notice
sent in accordance with §153.1205 of this title (relating to
Persons Under Investigation) or the proposed action that is the subject
of the contested case, if any; or
(3) if the party has not provided an address in response
to the proposed action, the address for the person included in the

that is known to the TEA staff at the time that the notice is sent.
