(a) A person who causes, suffers, allows, or permits a violation of this chapter, a department rule or order, or a license or registration condition is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $100 or more than $25,000 for each violation and for each day that a continuing violation occurs.
(b) The attorney general may file suit to recover a civil penalty under this section in a district court in Travis County or in the county in which the violation occurred.

(c) The civil penalty provided by this section is cumulative of any other remedy provided by law.
