The sufficiency of evidence required depends on the cause of the suspension or debarment.
  (1) If there is evidence that the contractor or potential contractor has been found guilty, pleaded guilty, pleaded no contest, or received a deferred adjudication in criminal court relating to an activity prohibited in this chapter, that is sufficient evidence to suspend or debar. If the decision that caused debarment is reversed on appeal, the contractor must provide written proof of the reversal to have its contract rights restored. DARS or HHSC restores contract rights unless the contractor is also debarred or suspended on other grounds.
  (2) If the cause is debarment from contracting by any unit of the federal government or any unit of a state government, it is sufficient to offer official notice from the other state or federal agency that the entity has been debarred. The notice may be addressed to either DARS or HHSC.
  (3) Other causes of debarment or suspension may be established by evidence of failure to meet contracting terms or standards, including evidence of the severity or recurrence of violations of performance requirements.
