PER CURIAM.
Anthony Mixon appeals the revocation of his professional license, contending that the agency erred in denying him a formal administrative hearing. We agree and reverse and remand.
Notwithstanding Mixon's written election for an informal hearing, the law is clear that if, during the course of informal proceedings, it becomes apparent that material facts are in dispute, a formal hearing should be convened, and evidence that is obtained during the informal hearing may then be made part of the record in the formal proceeding. See New v. Department of Banking Fin., 554 So.2d 1203 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989); Village Saloon, Inc. v. Division of Alcoholic Beverages Tobacco, 463 So.2d 278 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984) (on reh'g); United Tel. Co. of Fla. v. Mann, 403 So.2d 962 (Fla. 1981).
The record at bar clearly reveals the existence of disputed factual issues. Accordingly, the agency erred in revoking Mixon's license without furnishing him a formal hearing.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
