Association Authorized to Conduct Savings and Loan Business Under Prior Law Now Subject to Subtitle


(a)

An association or corporation that was authorized to conduct a building and loan association, savings and loan association, building society, or other similar business before January 1, 1964, and that has substantially the same purpose as a savings and loan association is subject to this subtitle. The name, rights, powers, privileges, and immunities of each of those associations or corporations are governed, construed, extended, and limited by this subtitle to the same extent and effect as if the association or corporation had been incorporated under this subtitle.

(b)

Except as provided by Subsection (d) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the entity’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, constitution, or rules, each association or corporation described by Subsection (a) has the rights, powers, privileges, and immunities conferred by this subtitle and is subject to the duties, liabilities, and restrictions imposed by this subtitle.

(c)

Except as provided by Subsection (d), the articles of association, certificate of incorporation, or charter and the bylaws, constitutions, or other rules of each of those associations or corporations are:

(1)

considered modified and amended to conform to this subtitle, regardless of whether the commissioner has issued or approved a conformed copy of the document; and

(2)

void to the extent that the document is inconsistent with this subtitle.

(d)

The obligations existing on January 1, 1964, of each association or corporation described by Subsection (a), including an obligation between the entity and one or more of its members and between the entity and any other person, are not impaired by this subtitle. Any valid contract existing on January 1, 1964, either between the members of the entity or between the entity and any other person, is not impaired by this subtitle. An association is not required to change its name.

(e)

An association or corporation described by Subsection (a) may enforce in its name any contractual obligation of the association or corporation incurred before January 1, 1964. A demand, claim, or right of action against the association or corporation may be enforced against the association or corporation as fully and completely as it might have been enforced before January 1, 1964.
