The demand shall be made in person or by notice in writing sent by first-class mail to the last known address of the person.
(b)The Commissioner or the Commissioner’s authorized inspector or agent and all enforcement officers are authorized to take possession of any certificate of title, nondriver identification card, registration, or license issued by this or any other jurisdiction that has been revoked, canceled, or suspended, or that is fictitious, stolen, or altered.
(c)A suspension or revocation shall be deemed to be in effect upon receipt of the notice, if made in person, or three days after the deposit of the notice in the U.S. mail, if made in writing and sent by first-class mail to the last known address of the person.
(d)If a presuspension or prerevocation hearing is available by law, the written notice of suspension or revocation shall so state.
