(c)  A registration may be suspended under this section without notice or hearing on the complaint if:
(1)  institution of proceedings for a hearing before the State Office of Administrative Hearings is initiated simultaneously with the temporary suspension; and
(2)  a hearing is held under Chapter 2001, Government Code, and this chapter as soon as possible.
(d)  Notwithstanding Chapter 551, Government Code, the disciplinary panel may hold a meeting by telephone conference call if immediate action is required and convening the panel at one location is inconvenient for any member of the panel.
