Public Entity Instructions
V.1.1 - September 23, 2010
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Under existing Texas law, a depository institution must pledge security to collateralize deposits of public funds by a public entity in excess of federal deposit limits. The current system requires that each public entity's deposits be collateralized individually, even if a depository institution holds deposits from several different public entities. The new Pooled Collateral Program provides an alternative to the current system by allowing a depository institution to pool collateral for public entities, and requires the Comptroller to regulate and monitor the Program. Under this Program, the Comptroller ensures that the securities pledged as collateral have a market value greater than the deposits.
