Official statutory text
(a) The commissioner shall approve a conversion plan if the commissioner determines that:
(1) the plan complies with this chapter;
(2) the plan's method of allocating subscription rights or other value is fair and equitable; and
(3) the resulting company would satisfy the requirements applicable to a domestic stock insurance company for a certificate of authority on the date of the determination.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by this section, the commissioner shall approve or disapprove a conversion plan not later than the 60th day after the first day on which all the documents required under Section 826.101 are filed with the commissioner.
(c) The commissioner may extend the time for decision by an additional 30 days on written notice to the converting company. Except as provided under Subsection (e), the commissioner may not extend the time for decision beyond that 30-day period.
