(c) A notice required under subsection (d) of this section must contain a statement that the applicant or licensee is disqualified from receiving the license or being examined for the license because of the applicant's or licensee's prior conviction of an offense specified in the notice, as provided in subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section.

(d) If HHSC suspends or revokes a license, or denies an applicant or licensee a license or the opportunity to be examined for a license because of the applicant's or licensee's prior conviction of an offense, HHSC notifies the person in writing of:

(2) the procedure for judicial review; and

(3) the earliest date the applicant or licensee may appeal HHSC's action.
