(d) A licensee who is the subject of a final court or attorney general's order suspending his or her license is not entitled to a refund for any fee paid to the Board.

(f) An individual who continues to engage in the practice of psychology or continues to use the titles "Licensed Psychologist," "Provisionally Licensed Psychologist," "Licensed Psychological Associate," "Licensed Specialist in School Psychology" or the initials "L.P.," "P.L.P.," "L.P.A.," or "L.S.S.P." after the issuance of a court or attorney general's order suspending the license is liable for the same civil and criminal penalties provided for engaging in the prohibited activity without a license or while a license is suspended as any other license holder of the Board. (g) On receipt of a court or attorney general's order vacating or staying an order suspending a license, the executive director shall promptly issue the affected license to the individual if the individual is otherwise qualified for the license. (h) The individual must pay a reinstatement fee in an amount equal to the annual renewal fee set out in Board rule §473.3 of this title (relating to Annual Renewal Fees) prior to issuance of the license under subsection (g) of this section. (i) In compliance with Chapter 232, Family Code, upon notice from a child support agency that a licensee has failed to pay child support for six months or more, and requests that the Board refuse to renew the license, the Board will not accept an application for renewal until it is notified by the child support agency that the licensee has met requirements set by law. The Board may charge the licensee a fee for such a denial of renewal.
