SECTION 8011
Corporate existence
Insurance (ISC) CHAPTER 28, ARTICLE 80
§ 8011. Corporate existence. (a) The reorganized insurer shall be a
continuation of the reorganizing insurer, and the reorganization shall
in no way annul, modify or change any of such insurer's existing suits,
rights, contracts or liabilities except as provided in the approved plan
of reorganization. All rights, franchises and interests of the
reorganizing insurer in and to every species of property, real, personal
and mixed, and things in action thereunto belonging, shall be vested in
the continuing company, without any deed or transfer, and simultaneously
therewith such continuing company shall be subject to all of the
obligations and liabilities of the reorganizing insurer, other than
obligations and liabilities with respect to the policyholders'
membership interests extinguished by the plan of reorganization.

(b) No action or proceeding pending at the time of the reorganization
to which the reorganizing insurer may be a party shall be abated or
discontinued by reason of such reorganization, but the same may be
prosecuted to final judgment in the same manner as if the reorganization
had not taken place, or the reorganized insurer may be substituted in
place of such reorganizing insurer by order of the court in which the
action or proceeding may be pending.
