(a) An applicant may appeal the commissioner's denial of an application or the commissioner's order affirming the denial only after a final order is entered. The commissioner is defendant in the appeal.
(b) A party to the action may appeal the court's decision. The appeal is returnable to the appellate court at once and has precedence in that court over any cause of a different character pending in that court.
(c) The commissioner is not required to give an appeal bond in a cause arising under this subchapter.
(d) Filing an appeal under this section does not stay an order of the commissioner that is adverse to the applicant.
