(b) - (c)(No change.) (d)1 TAC §155.501 and §155.503 (relating to Default Proceedings and Dismissal Proceedings) (SOAH rules) apply where a Respondent fails to appear on the day and time set for administrative hearing. In that case, the commission's staff may move either for dismissal of the case from SOAH's docket or for the issuance of a default proposal for decision by the judge.

No additional proof is required to be submitted to the commission before the commission enters the final order.

been reviewed by legal
counsel and found to be within the agency's
