Official statutory text

(2) despite tender of the required documents circumstances would justify injunction against honor under this title (Section 5.109(b)).
(b) Payment pursuant to Subsection (a) does not constitute an acceptance of goods or impair the buyer's right to inspect or any of his remedies.
