10.13 	person must within 30 days of being served with the order, request in writing a hearing 
10.14 	and that within 15 days after receipt of a written hearing request from the person, the 
10.15 	matter will be scheduled for a hearing. If a person subject to the order does not request a 
10.16 	hearing within 30 days after the date of service of the order, the order becomes final as to 
10.17 	that person by operation of law. If a hearing is requested, the commissioner, after notice of 
10.18 	an opportunity for hearing to each person subject to the order, may modify or vacate the 
10.19 	order or extend it until final determination.
10.20 	(c) If a hearing is requested pursuant to paragraph (b), a hearing must be held under 
10.21 	chapter 14 and a final order may not be issued unless the commissioner makes findings of 
10.22 	fact and conclusions of law in a record according to chapter 14. The final order may make 
10.23 	final, vacate, or modify the order issued under paragraph (a).
10.24 	(d) If a petition for judicial review of a final order is not filed in accordance with 
10.25 	chapter 14, the commissioner may file a certified copy of the final order with the clerk of a 
10.26 	court of competent jurisdiction. The order so filed has the same effect as a judgment of the 
10.27 	court and may be recorded, enforced, or satisfied in the same manner as a judgment of 
10.28 	the court.
10.29 	(e) If a person does not comply with an order under this section, the commissioner 
10.30 	may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the order. The court may not 
10.31 	require the commissioner to post a bond in an action or proceeding under this section. 
10.32 	If the court finds, after service and opportunity for hearing, that the person was not in 
10.33 	compliance with the order, the court may adjudge the person in civil contempt of the order. 
10.34 	The court may impose a further civil penalty against the person for contempt in an amount 
10.35 	up to $10,000 for each violation and may grant any other relief the court determines is just 
10.36 	and proper in the circumstances.
11.1 	(f) In addition to the authority granted under this chapter, the commissioner has all 
11.2 	the authority provided under section 45.027 to ensure compliance with this chapter.
