Official statutory text
(a) After reasonable notice to the commissioners court, a depository is entitled to substitute one type of security for another or replace particular securities with others of the same type if the substituting or replacing security meets the requirements of law and is approved by the commissioners court. Instead of approval of each substitute or replacement security by the commissioners court, the commissioners court may:
(1) adopt a procedure for approving a substitute or replacement security under this section; and
(2) designate a county employee or official, including a county judge, to approve the substitute or replacement security under the procedure adopted under Subdivision (1).
(b) The county judge shall execute the necessary instruments to transfer to the depository or its order a lien withdrawn from real property for which another security is substituted.
(c) The commissioners court may direct the manner in which securities pledged in place of personal or surety bonds are to be deposited.
