The Texas State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) was created in 1991 by the 72nd Texas Legislature as an independent agency to manage and conduct hearings in contested cases for most licensing and other state agencies. [1] SOAH provides a forum for administrative hearings for agencies without staff to conduct hearings. [2]
[2] [3] OAL hearings are held in Newark, [4] Atlantic City, [5] and the Trenton area (Mercerville, Hamilton Township). [6] Although typically initial decisions of OAL ALJ's may be adopted, modified, or rejected by agency heads, the reasons for modifying or rejecting a decision must be specified in writing and supported by evidence.
A subpoena duces tecum (pronounced in English / s ə ˈ p iː n ə ˌ dj uː s iː z ˈ t iː k ə m / sə-PEE-nə DEW-seez TEE-kəm), or subpoena for production of evidence, is a court summons ordering the recipient to appear before the court and produce documents or other tangible evidence for use at a hearing or trial.

The OAH was created in 1990 by legislation enacted in 1989 to provide impartial and independent administrative law judges to hear agency cases. [4] Prior to that, each Maryland agency conducted its own hearings, an administrative process that was criticized as the deciding officer was either an employee or member of the agency, creating the possibility of a lack of impartiality.

The term stems from Loudermill v.Cleveland Board of Education, in which the United States Supreme Court held that non-probationary civil servants had a property right to continued employment and such employment could not be denied to employees unless they were given an opportunity to hear and respond to the charges against them prior to being deprived of continued employment.
