ESTABLISHING SERIES OF SHARES OR PARTICIPATION SHARES.

(b) A series of shares or participation shares may be established in the manner provided by the Business Organizations Code, but the shares or participation shares of the series may not be issued and sold except on compliance with Section 182.103 . The state trust company shall file the original and one copy of the statement of action required by the Business Organizations Code with the banking commissioner. (c) Unless the submission presents novel or unusual questions, the banking commissioner shall approve or reject the series not later than the 31st day after the date the banking commissioner considers the submission informationally complete and accepted for filing. The banking commissioner may require the submission of additional information as considered necessary to an informed decision. (d) If the banking commissioner finds that the interests of the clients and creditors of the state trust company will not be adversely affected by the series, that the series otherwise conforms to law and any conditions imposed by the banking commissioner, and that any required filing fee has been paid, the banking commissioner shall: (1) endorse the face of the original and copy of the statement with the date of approval and the word "Approved"; (2) file the original in the department's records; and (3) deliver a certified copy of the statement to the state trust company.
