Text

(a) If the commissioner finds that any person in this
state, after a hearing in which the person is notified of the
hearing and the charges against him, has engaged or is engaging
in any act or practice defined in or prohibited under this
chapter, the commissioner shall order the person to desist from
the acts or practices.

or order of the court to enforce it in any way relieves or
absolves any person affected by the order from any other
liability, penalty or forfeiture under law.
(e) Violation of any desist order is punishable as a
violation of this code.
(f) This section does not affect or prevent the imposition
of any penalty provided by this code or by other law for
violation of any other provision of this chapter, whether or not
any hearing is called or held or any desist order issued.
