Texas Trust Company Act

Texas · FI · §§ 181.001 to 199.005 · 242 sections

Overview

The act governs the chartering, powers, and supervision of state trust companies, covering how such a company is formed and capitalized, what it may call itself, and the range of financial activities it may conduct. Oversight rests with the state banking commissioner and banking department, which review charter applications through a process of notice, investigation, protest, and hearing, conduct periodic examinations, require statements of condition and income, and issue interpretive statements and opinions that regulated parties may rely on. It also makes examination and investigative information confidential except for defined disclosures to other regulators and supervised institutions, limits the liability of trust company and regulatory personnel, provides administrative hearings with appeal to district court, and allows certain trust companies to seek exemption from portions of its requirements.
