  (3) Payments must be made to members promptly after the pro rata distribution has been computed. The credit union may mail a check to the member's last known address, deliver the check personally to the member, or make the payment by wire or any other electronic means authorized by the member.

  (4) Unclaimed share/deposit accounts, unpaid claims, and unpaid claims of members or creditors who failed to cash their final distribution checks shall be escheated in accordance with Texas laws.

  (5) The Department shall be notified in writing within five days after the final distribution of assets to the members begins.

(h) Economic benefit. No director or senior management employee may receive any economic benefit in connection with the voluntary liquidation of the credit union other than compensation and other benefits paid to directors and senior management employees in the ordinary course of business.

(i) Continued supervision of voluntary liquidation.

  (1) A voluntary liquidation of a credit union shall be conducted only with the continued supervision of the Department. The commissioner may conduct any examinations of the credit union the commissioner considers necessary or appropriate.

  (2) The credit union shall submit a report to the Department within 10 business days after the start of liquidation showing the credit union's balance sheet as of the start of liquidation. The liquidating credit union shall submit a report of progress as requested by the Department.

  (3) If the commissioner has reason to conclude the voluntary liquidation of a credit union is not being safely or expeditiously conducted, or is being conducted in violation of this section, the commissioner may take possession of the business and property of the credit union in the same manner, with the same effect, and subject to the same rights accorded the credit union as if the commissioner had issued a liquidation order. The commissioner may appoint a new liquidating agent and proceed to liquidate the affairs of the credit union as provided in the Finance Code, Title 3, Subtitle D, Subchapter E.

(j) Retention of records.

  (1) The board of directors shall appoint a custodian for the credit union's records that are to be retained after the final distribution of assets.

  (2) The custodian shall retain all records of the liquidating credit union that are necessary to establish that the credit union paid creditors, and distributed assets to the members fairly and equitably in accordance with the approved liquidation plan. The custodian shall retain the records for a period of five years following the date the Department cancels the credit union's charter.

(k) Certificate of dissolution and liquidation. Within 120 days after the credit union begins final distribution of assets to members, it shall file with the Department a duly executed Certificate of Dissolution and Liquidation.

(l) Inquiries after liquidation. It will be the responsibility of the custodian for the credit union's records to respond timely to inquiries after liquidation.
