(1)  the effective date of the denial or revocation; or
(2)  the date of a final court order affirming the denial or revocation if judicial review was sought.
(b)  An application filed after the period required by Subsection (a) may be denied by the commissioner if the applicant fails to show good cause why the denial or revocation should not be a bar to the issuance of a new certificate.
