(a) SOAH has no continuing jurisdiction to modify an
ALR decision after it has been signed, except that the judge, on his
or her own motion or on request of a party, may amend an ALR decision
to:
(1) correct a clerical error in the original written
decision, including, but not limited to, the unintentional entry of
a decision using the wrong form or template; or
(2) conform the decision to reflect the correct statutory
period of suspension.
(b) A request for correction must be filed as soon
as possible after the error is discovered, but not later than 10 business
days after the issuance of the original decision, and must specify
the clerical error or period of suspension that is proposed for correction.
(c) The filing of a motion to correct a decision does
not extend the deadline for appeal under Texas Transportation Code §
524.041 or stay any action that has been previously authorized.
(d) A corrected decision may only be issued if the
error is apparent on the face of the record and a correction is required
to accurately reflect the judge's intent at the time the original
decision was entered. A corrected decision cannot be based on a request
for reconsideration or new evidence or arguments that were not presented
at the hearing on the merits, and may not be used to correct judicial
error.
(e) The judge is not required to act on a request for
correction of a final decision. Any corrected decision must be issued
by the judge not later than the 29th day after the date the original
ALR decision was signed.
