Sec. 401.240.  JUDICIAL REVIEW.  (a)  Notwithstanding any other law, a person affected by an action of the commission under this subchapter may file a petition for judicial review of the action only after the commission takes final action on a license application under Section 401.239(d).  A petition must be filed not later than the 30th day after the date of the final action.
(b)  In its review of an action under this subchapter, a court may not substitute its judgment for the judgment of the commission on the weight of the evidence the commission considered, but:
(1)  may affirm the action in whole or in part;  and
(2)  shall reverse or remand the case for further proceedings if substantial rights of the petitioner have been prejudiced because the administrative findings, inferences, conclusions, or decisions:
(A)  are in violation of a constitutional or statutory provision;
(B)  are in excess of the commission's statutory authority;
(C)  are made through unlawful procedure;
(D)  are affected by other error of law;
(E)  are not reasonably supported by substantial evidence considering the reliable and probative evidence in the record as a whole;  or
(F)  are arbitrary or capricious or characterized by abuse of discretion or clearly unwarranted exercise of discretion.
