        481A.132  SERVICE OF PROCESS OR ARREST -- PENDENCY OF      DAMAGE CLAIM.         Service of process upon or arrest of any person charged with      provisions of this chapter for which damages may be assessed pursuant      to section 481A.130, shall serve as notice of the pendency of the      liquidated damage claim. Trial on the criminal charge may be      separated from the determination of the liquidated damage claim in      the discretion of the court or by the request of the defendant, but      upon conviction of the defendant in the criminal case, the only issue      to be determined by the court on the liquidated damage claim is the      fact of such conviction.
