  (3) Call report forms. The call report forms, the instructions for completing the reports and the accompanying materials will be furnished by the banking commissioner to all trust companies subject to this subsection, or may be obtained upon request from the Texas Department of Banking, 2601 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78705-4294. The banking commissioner may make such modifications and additions to call report form and contents under this subsection as considered necessary in the discretionary discharge of the banking commissioner's duties. A trust company must submit all information requested on the call report form.
(c) Special call reports. In addition to the requirements of subsections (b) of this section, the banking commissioner may require a trust company to file and submit a special call report, in such form and manner and containing such information as may be requested, on dates fixed, whenever in the banking commissioner's discretion the special call report is necessary in the performance of the banking commissioner's supervisory duties related to the safety and soundness of the trust company. Special call reports must contain only such information as is specifically requested by the banking commissioner.
(d) Call report declarations and attestations. Each call report or special call report required to be filed under subsections (b) and (c) of this section must contain a declaration by an executive officer, or by another officer designated by the board of directors of the trust company to make such declaration, that the report is true and correct to the best of such individual's knowledge and belief. The correctness of the call report or special call report must also be attested by the signatures of at least two of the directors of the trust company other than the officer making the declaration. The declaration of the directors must state that the call report or special call report has been examined by them and is true and correct to the best of their knowledge and belief.

The latest call report filed with the banking commissioner pursuant to subsection (b) of this subsection or a Notice of Call Report Availability must be posted in the lobby of each trust company that transacts business with the public at a point accessible to the public. A trust company is not required to publish its call report in a newspaper or other media unless specifically directed to do so by the banking commissioner. A trust company required to publish its call report by the banking commissioner shall publish the report in a newspaper or other medium of general circulation as directed by the banking commissioner.
(f) Confidentiality. Call reports filed under subsection (b)(2) of this section are confidential as provided by Finance Code, §181.107(c)(2).
