(1) In a lawsuit alleging that fraud, misrepresentation, or deceit by a title insurance licensee in a real estate transaction proximately caused economic harm, if grounds arise for the entry of a default judgment against the title insurance licensee, the plaintiff may petition the court to join the department as a defendant in the lawsuit.
(2) After being served, the department may appear, conduct discovery, and otherwise defend against any claim asserted against the title insurance licensee for which the fund may be liable under this part. A judgment under this Subsection (2) may not be issued against the department.
