§ 443.201. TURNOVER OF ASSETS.
Status: in_force

(a) If the receiver determines that funds or property in the possession of another person are rightfully the property of the estate, the receiver shall deliver to the person a written demand for immediate delivery of the funds or property, referencing this section by number and the court and docket number of the receivership action, and notifying the person that any claim of right to the funds or property by the person must be presented to the receivership court not later than the 20th day after the date of the written demand. Any person who holds funds or other property belonging to an entity subject to an order of receivership under this chapter shall deliver the funds or other property to the receiver on demand. Should the person allege any right to retain the funds or other property, the person, not later than the 20th day after the date of receipt of the demand that the funds or property be delivered to the receiver, shall file with the receivership court a pleading setting out that right. The person shall serve a copy of the pleading on the receiver. The pleading must inform the receivership court as to the nature of the claim to the funds or property, the alleged value of the property or amount of funds held, and what action, pending determination of the dispute, has been taken by the person to preserve and protect the property or to preserve any funds. The relinquishment of possession of funds or property by any person who has received a demand pursuant to this section does not constitute a waiver of a right to make a claim in the receivership.

(b) If requested by the receiver, the receivership court shall hold a hearing to determine where and under what conditions the person shall hold the property or funds pending determination of the dispute. The receivership court may impose conditions as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the preservation of the property or funds until the receivership court can determine the validity of the person's claim to the property or funds. If any property or funds are allowed to remain in the possession of the person after demand made by the receiver, that person is strictly liable to the estate for any waste, loss, or damage to or diminution of value of the property or funds retained.

(c) If a person has filed a pleading alleging any right to retain funds or property as provided by Subsection (a), the receivership court shall hold a subsequent hearing to determine the entitlement of the person to the funds or property claimed by the receiver.

(d) If a person fails to deliver the funds or property or to file the pleading described by Subsection (a) within the period described by Subsection (a), the receivership court may, upon petition of the receiver and upon a copy of the petition being served by the receiver to that person, issue its summary order directing the immediate delivery of the funds or property to the receiver and finding that the person has waived all claims of right to the funds or property.
