§ I1.2. CREATION

CREATION; COMPOSITION OF THE ASSOCIATION; DISSOLUTION. (a) The Texas Nonprofit Organization Liability Insurance Underwriting Association is created if, after notice and hearing, the board determines that a market assistance program created under Article 21.49-12 of this code has not alleviated a problem in the availability of liability insurance to nonprofit organizations. The board may not make this determination until a market assistance program has been in operation for at least 180 days. (b) The association is composed of all insurers authorized to write and engaged in writing, on or after January 1, 1987, automobile liability insurance and liability other than automobile insurance in this state on a direct basis as provided by this code and includes Lloyd's and reciprocal or interinsurance exchanges. (c) The association does not include farm mutual insurance companies authorized by Chapter 16 of this code and mutual insurance companies authorized by Chapter 17 of this code. (d) Each insurer covered by Subsection (b) of this section must be a member of the association as a condition of its authority to continue to transact a liability insurance business in this state. (e) The association is not a licensed insurer under Article 1.14-2 of this code. (f) Not later than the first anniversary of the creation of the association under this section, the board shall give notice and hold a hearing to determine whether it is necessary to continue the association beyond the first anniversary of its creation. If the association is continued beyond the first anniversary of its creation, the board shall give notice and hold a hearing annually to determine whether it is necessary to continue the association for another year.
