§ TX.113.104. PREFERENTIAL TRANSFERS

PREFERENTIAL TRANSFERS. (a) The comptroller may recover in a suit brought in Travis County by the attorney general the property or the value of property transferred in a preferential transfer. (b) The transfer of property or an interest in property by a person who at the time of the transfer is insolvent and has received or withheld money as a tax under this title or who is delinquent in the payment of a tax imposed by this title is a preferential transfer if the transfer occurred during the six-month period before the date of the filing of a tax lien notice against the transferor as permitted by this chapter and if the transfer is made with intent to defraud the state. The transfer of the property or the interest in property without adequate and sufficient consideration creates a rebuttable presumption that the transfer was made with intent to defraud the state. A transfer with sufficient consideration creates a rebuttable presumption that the transfer was not made with intent to defraud the state. (c) All property subject to execution of a transferee in a preferential transfer is subject to a prior lien in favor of the state to secure the recovery of the value of the property transferred in a preferential transfer. (d) The remedies provided by this section are cumulative of other remedies of the comptroller as a creditor. Acts 1981, 67th Leg., p. 1520, ch. 389, Sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1982.
