DUPLICATE RECEIPTS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) Except as otherwise provided by this section, if a receipt issued under this chapter is outstanding, another receipt covering all or part of the grain covered by the initial receipt may not be issued by the warehouse operator or any other person. If a receipt is lost, stolen, or destroyed, the owner is entitled to a new receipt as a duplicate or substitute for the missing receipt. The duplicate or substitute receipt has the same legal effect as the original receipt and must:
(1) state that it is in lieu of the original receipt; and
(2) bear the number and date of the original receipt.
(b) Before issuing a duplicate receipt, the warehouse operator shall require from the owner an indemnity bond of double the market value of the grain covered by the missing receipt. The bond must be in a form and with a surety prescribed by the department to fully protect all rights under the missing receipt.
(c) A warehouse operator may not obtain, purchase, or become a surety on a bond for a lost, stolen, or destroyed receipt.
(d) A court may not order delivery of grain covered by a lost, stolen, or destroyed receipt without requiring the bond provided by this section.
