Sec. 464.002. CONSTRUCTION AND PURPOSE. (a) The purpose of this chapter is to alleviate the financial hardship imposed on persons who are harmed by the sale of unauthorized insurance in this state. Persons who suffer damages as a result of unpaid claims on policies issued by unauthorized insurers in this state are not covered under guaranty acts, which provide protection to persons with claims against authorized insurers. The legislature finds that it is appropriate to provide additional remedies to these persons.
(b) The commissioner's powers under this Act shall be liberally construed to support the purpose stated in Subsection (a).
(c) This chapter does not limit the powers granted the commissioner under other provisions of law. The powers and authority of the commissioner under this chapter are cumulative and are in addition to all other powers and authority that are available to the commissioner.
