Facts: ZA hired firm after his application for renewal of licensure was denied due to a recent conviction. ZA was convicted of burglary.
Outcome: The firm requested a hearing and provided a supplemental response to the proposed denial. In the response the firm argued that the incident was isolated in nature, domestically related and not an event that would be repeated. It was ZA’s only arrest and conviction and any risk with licensure could be remedied by the supervision of his current employer who was willing to sponsor ZA during a probationary period. After review TDLR issued ZA a full license without restriction.
