| (a) Any party aggrieved by a final decision or order of the commissioner or the fire marshal in contested case may appeal to the board after the decision or order complained of is final. To the extent not superseded by the Act, the procedures specified in the Insurance Code, Article 1.04(d), apply to appeals to the board from decisions of the commissioner and are adopted for appeals to the board from decisions of the fire marshal. An appeal to the board for review of an action of the commissioner or the fire marshal shall be made within 30 days from the date that the writing evidencing the official action or order complained of is final and appealable, but, for good cause shown, the board may allow for an appeal after that date. (b) A person may timely appeal to the board an act, ruling, or decision of the Texas Workers' Compensation Assigned Risk Pool, the Texas Catastrophe Property Insurance Association, or the Texas Medical Liability
Underwriting Association by sending the appeal to the chief clerk of the State Board of Insurance by first class or by certified or registered United States mail in an envelope or wrapper properly addressed and stamped and deposited in the mail one day or more before the last day for filing the appeal, if the appeal is received by the chief clerk's office not more than 10 days subsequent to the due date for filing.
