La. R.S. 47:777
Failure to pay tax or furnish bond; suit to enjoin further pursuit of business
When any dealer fails to pay any tax levied under Parts I, II, and III of this Chapter or any interest, penalties or costs applicable thereto, or fails to furnish bond as provided in those Parts and in this Part, the collector is authorized to take a rule on the said dealer, by motion in a court of competent jurisdiction, to show cause in not less than two nor more than ten days, exclusive of holidays, after the service thereof, which rule may be tried out of term and in chambers, and shall always be tried by preference, why said dealer should not be ordered to cease from further pursuit of business as a dealer. In case the rule is made absolute, the order rendered thereon shall be considered a judgment in favor of the state prohibiting such dealer from the further pursuit of the business until such time as he has paid the said delinquent tax, penalties and interest and in addition has furnished the bond. Every violation of the injunction shall be considered as a contempt of court, and punished according to law.
When bond has been furnished by the dealer, the surety on said bond may be joined in said rule with the dealer and condemned in solido for the amount of the tax, interest, penalties, attorneys' fees and costs.
