House Bill 2031 amends provisions of the Transportation Code, the Alcoholic Beverage Code, and the Health and Safety Code to authorize the Texas Department of Public Safety to send notice to a person whose driver's license has been suspended or revoked by first class rather than certified mail. The act clarifies that the notice is considered to have been received on the fifth day after the notice is mailed and takes effect on the 30th day after it was mailed. It permits a person whose license has been suspended or revoked to request a hearing before the 20th day after the notice was mailed.
