A foreign bank that intends to relocate a Texas state branch or agency office shall submit a letter to the commissioner describing the address of the proposed location, the reasons for relocation, and the manner of notifying its customers of the relocation.
(b)  On or before the 30th day after the date the foreign bank's letter has been accepted for filing and any required fee has been paid, the commissioner shall approve or deny the relocation.  The commissioner may not permit the foreign bank to relocate its Texas state branch or agency office if the commissioner finds that the proposed location and the manner of relocation and notification will be deceptive or that the relocation will impede or tend to impede the foreign bank's depositors and creditors in this state.
