Operative words

To assist in the review of your operational preparedness in response to the issues presented by COVID-19, the following has been developed in conjunction with the Independent Bankers Association of Texas and the Texas Bankers Association. Each community and therefore, each bank may be experiencing the COVID-19 emergency in unique ways, so this set of recommendations does not constitute required action. This guide contains a list of important areas to consider as you maintain essential business operations during the pandemic.

Enforcement

None (recommendations)

Notes

Recommendations only; retained as the regulator's contemporaneous description of the operating conditions banks faced.

Retrieval note

Cite it as context and cite the underlying order, statute or emergency rule it describes as the instrument. (Bulletins whose operative text imposes a mandatory duty on licensees under the regulator's own authority are excluded from this downgrade and listed separately for review.)).
