(a) If the commissioner determines that a bank holding company or a foreign bank has violated this subtitle or other applicable law of this state, the commissioner may take any enforcement action the commissioner would be empowered to take if the bank holding company or foreign bank were a Texas state bank, except that the commissioner shall promptly give notice to the home state regulator of each enforcement action taken against an out-of-state bank holding company or foreign bank and, to the extent practicable, shall consult and cooperate with the home state regulator in pursuing and resolving the enforcement action. A bank holding company or foreign bank may appeal a final order or other decision of the commissioner under this subtitle as provided by Sections 31.202 and 31.204.

(b) If the commissioner determines that an interstate branch maintained by an out-of-state state bank in this state is being operated in violation of a law of this state that is applicable to the branch under Section 24(j), Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1831a(j)), including a law that governs community reinvestment, fair lending, or consumer protection, the commissioner, with written notice to the home state regulator and subject to the terms of any applicable cooperative agreement with the home state regulator, may take any enforcement action the commissioner would be empowered to take if the branch were a Texas state bank or state savings bank, as the case may be. An out-of-state state bank may appeal a final order or other decision of the commissioner under this subtitle as provided by Sections 31.202 and 31.204, or as provided under Subtitle C with respect to a state savings bank.
