Sec. 186.202. NOTICE AND EFFECT OF CLOSURE; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER

(a) After closing a state trust company under Section 186.201, the banking commissioner shall attach to or otherwise display at its main entrance a copy of the written closing order issued under Section 186.201(a) and containing the findings on which the closing of the state trust company is based. A correspondent bank of the closed state trust company may not pay an item drawn on the account of the closed state trust company that is presented for payment after the correspondent has received actual notice of closing unless it previously certified the item for payment.

(b) As soon as practicable after posting the closing order at the state trust company's main entrance, the banking commissioner shall tender the state trust company to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as provided by Section 186.003 or initiate a receivership proceeding by filing a certified copy of the closing order in district court in Travis County, subject to Subsection (c). The court in which the closing order is filed shall docket it as a case styled, "In re liquidation of ____" (inserting the name of the state trust company). When the closing order is filed, the court has constructive custody of all the state trust company's assets and any action that seeks to directly or indirectly affect state trust company assets is considered an intervention in the receivership proceeding and subject to this subchapter and Subchapter D.

(c) Venue for an action instituted to effect, contest, or intervene in the liquidation of a state trust company is in Travis County, except that on motion filed and served concurrently with or before the filing of the answer, the court may, on a finding of good cause, transfer the action to the county of the state trust company's home office.
