Tex. Ins. Code § 2602.354 · Subchapter H. CONSERVATOR OR RECEIVER POWERS AND DUTIES RELATING TO COVERED CLAIMS
CLAIM BY PERSON WITH CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST INSURED.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) On determination by the conservator that covered claims should be actually paid or on order of the court to the receiver to give notice for the filing of claims, a person having a cause of action that constitutes a covered claim against an insured of the impaired title insurance company under a title insurance policy issued or assumed by the company may file the claim with the receiver or conservator, regardless of whether the claim is unliquidated or undetermined.
(b) A claim under this section may be approved as a covered claim if:
(1) it may be reasonably inferred from the proof presented that the claimant would be able to obtain a judgment on the cause of action against the insured;
(2) the claimant provides suitable proof that no valid claim exists against the impaired title insurance company arising from the cause of action other than claims already made; and
(3) the total liability of the impaired title insurance company to all claimants under the same title insurance policy does not exceed the amount of the company's total liability if the company were not in liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation.
