Fin. Code Section 35.110
Review of Supervisor or Conservator Decision
(a)
Notwithstanding Section 35.107 (Authority of Conservator)(b), a majority of the bank’s board, acting directly or through counsel who affirmatively represents that the requisite majority has been obtained, may request in writing that the banking commissioner review an action taken or proposed by the supervisor or conservator. The request must specify why the action would not be in the best interest of the bank. The banking commissioner shall investigate to the extent necessary and make a prompt written ruling on the request. If the action has not yet been taken or if the effect of the action can be postponed, the banking commissioner may stay the action on request pending review.(b)
If a majority of the bank’s board objects to the banking commissioner’s ruling, the majority may request a hearing before the banking commissioner. The request must be made not later than the 10th day after the date the bank is notified of the ruling.(c)
The banking commissioner shall give the board notice of the time and place of the hearing by personal delivery or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. The hearing may not be held later than the 10th day after the date the banking commissioner receives the request for a hearing unless the parties agree to a later hearing date. At the hearing the board has the burden of proof to demonstrate that the action is not in the best interest of the bank.(d)
After the hearing, the banking commissioner may affirm, modify, or set aside in whole or part the prior ruling. An order supporting the action contested by the board is immediately final for purposes of appeal. The order may be appealed as provided by Sections 31.202 (Appeal of Banking Commissioner Decision or Order) and 31.204 (Appeal to District Court).
