Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment, holding that Labor Code sections 403.007(a) and 408.184(c) and the implementing regulations are not custodial‑escheat statutes, do not violate Texas Constitution article III, § 52(a), and do not violate article VIII, § 1‑e. The Court reached these conclusions by applying established constitutional tests and distinguishing the Fund from mutual assessable insurance programs.
