The commission may not modify, remand, reverse, vacate, or reconsider the terms of a final order issued by the court or a Title IV-D agency suspending a permit under the provisions of the Texas Family Code, Chapter 232. However, upon receipt of an order by the court or Title IV-D agency vacating or staying an order suspending a person's permit to operate an ADAD, the commission shall promptly issue or re-issue the affected permit to that person if that person is otherwise qualified for the permit and has paid the applicable fees as set out in subsection (d) of this section.
