Sec. 157.0241. REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION OF LICENSE FOR PAYMENT FROM RECOVERY FUND. (a) The commissioner may revoke or suspend a license issued under this chapter on proof that the commissioner has made a payment from the recovery fund of any amount toward satisfaction of a claim against a residential mortgage loan originator licensed under this chapter.
(b) The commissioner may seek to collect from a residential mortgage loan originator the amount paid from the recovery fund on behalf of the residential mortgage loan originator and any costs associated with investigating and processing the claim against the recovery fund or with collection of reimbursement for payments from the recovery fund, plus interest at the current legal rate until the amount has been repaid in full. Any amount, including interest, recovered by the commissioner shall be deposited to the credit of the recovery fund.
(c) The commissioner may probate an order revoking or suspending a license under this section.
(d) A person on whose behalf payment was made from the recovery fund is not eligible to receive a new license or have a suspension lifted under this chapter until the person has repaid in full, plus interest at the current legal rate, the amount paid from the recovery fund on the person's behalf and any costs associated with investigating and processing the claim against the recovery fund or with collection of reimbursement for payments from the recovery fund.
(e) This section does not limit the authority of the commissioner to take disciplinary action against a residential mortgage loan originator for a violation of this chapter, Chapter 156, or the rules adopted by the finance commission under this chapter or Chapter 156. The repayment in full to the recovery fund of all obligations of a residential mortgage loan originator does not nullify or modify the effect of any other disciplinary proceeding brought under this chapter or Chapter 156.
