An order issued under this section is effective until:(1) the expiration of the time for appealing the determination under Section 81.004 or 81.005; or(2) if the determination is appealed, until all appeals are finally decided.(b) A hearings officer may issue an order under this section on the hearings officer's own motion or the motion of a person listed in Section 81.003 or, for an original or renewal permit or license application, any individual entitled to protest the issuance of the original or renewal permit or license.(b-1) If an individual who is entitled to protest the issuance of the original or renewal permit or license files a motion for a temporary order under this section, the commission may not issue a temporary order without conducting a hearing.(c) The commission may impose any sanction on a person who violates an order issued under Subsection (a) that is necessary to secure compliance with the order.(d) A hearing under this section must be held not later than the 10th day after the date notice is served on all interested parties. Failure to hold a hearing in the time prescribed by this subsection does not invalidate an order issued under this section.(e) A person who requests an order under this section may not be required to post security for costs in connection with the application or any hearing conducted as a result of the application.Tex.
