(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, a |
|
|
person who is within the fourth degree by consanguinity or affinity |
|
|
of a licensee or permittee, as determined under Chapter 573, |
|
|
Government Code, whose license or permit was canceled under Section |
|
|
11.61 or 61.71 may not, for a period of three [two] years from the |
|
