Tex. Util. Code § 39.304 · Subchapter G. SECURITIZATION
PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The rights and interests of an electric utility or successor under a financing order, including the right to impose, collect, and receive transition charges authorized in the order, shall be only contract rights until they are first transferred to an assignee or pledged in connection with the issuance of transition bonds, at which time they will become "transition property."
(b) Transition property shall constitute a present property right for purposes of contracts concerning the sale or pledge of property, even though the imposition and collection of transition charges depends on further acts of the utility or others that have not yet occurred. The financing order shall remain in effect and the property shall continue to exist for the same period as the pledge of the state described in Section 39.310.
(c) All revenues and collections resulting from transition charges shall constitute proceeds only of the transition property arising from the financing order.
