Tex. Fin. Code § 33.101 · Subchapter B. BOARD AND OFFICERS
VOTING SECURITIES HELD BY BANK.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) Voting securities of a state bank held by the bank in a fiduciary capacity under a will or trust, whether registered in the bank's name or in the name of its nominee, may not be voted in the election of directors or on a matter affecting the compensation of directors, officers, or employees of the bank in that capacity unless:
(1) under the terms of the will or trust, the manner in which the voting securities are to be voted may be determined by a donor or beneficiary of the will or trust and the donor or beneficiary makes the determination in the matter at issue;
(2) the terms of the will or trust expressly direct the manner in which the securities must be voted so that discretion is not vested in the bank as fiduciary; or
(3) the securities are voted solely by a cofiduciary that is not an affiliate of the bank, as if the cofiduciary were the sole fiduciary.
(b) Voting securities of a state bank that cannot be voted under this section are considered to be authorized but unissued for purposes of determining the procedures for and results of the affected vote.
