FINAL JUDGMENT

This administrative appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Under applicable

regulations, a SOAH hearing is available only when the agency is preparing to release adverse

information. 40 Tex. Admin. Code §§ 707.577, 707.579. State law does not authorize SOAH

review or judicial review in the current procedural posture of this matter.

This is a final judgment that disposes of all claims in this case. The District Clerk is

instructed to close this case.

Signed November 26, 2025.
