(1) Conviction of driving while under the influence;
(2) Any other criminal conviction that would cause a reasonable person to believe the applicant was not suited to provide funeral escort services;
(3) Excessive violations of traffic laws;
(4) Exercising or attempting to exercise police powers not granted by this chapter;
(5) Driving a private funeral escort vehicle not covered by valid and sufficient proof of financial responsibility;
(6) Driving a private funeral escort vehicle that does not have valid and current inspection or registration stickers;
(7) Driving a private funeral escort vehicle that is not in good condition and working order;
(8) Failing to provide a liability and property insurance policy or an indemnification agreement as required by § 103.011; or
(9) Providing any information in the application for a permit that is false.
(B) The Chief shall give written notice of the revocation to the permit holder. Unless the permit holder appeals, the revocation is effective immediately on receipt.
(C) When the Chief revokes a funeral escort permit, the person shall not be issued a new funeral escort permit for one year from the date the revocation became effective. However, if, subsequent to revocation, the Chief finds that the basis for the revocation has been corrected or abated, the Chief may grant a new funeral escort permit after at least 90 days have elapsed since the date the revocation became effective.
