Except in the case of a suspension under Section 164.059 or under

with the notice requirements under Section 154.053, to the affected
license holder of the facts or conduct alleged to warrant the
intended action; and
(2) the license holder is given an opportunity to show
compliance with all requirements of law for the retention of the
