REQUIREMENTS FOR LIABILITY PROTECTION FOLLOWING EXPIRATION OF STATEMENT

(a) If a certificate described by Section 153.106(1) has not been filed before the expiration of the 180-day period described by Section 153.107(b), the person filing the statement has no further protection from liability under Section 153.106(2) unless the person complies with this section.

(b) If an action is brought within the applicable period and is diligently prosecuted to conclusion, the person bringing the action continues to be protected from liability under Section 153.106(2) until the action is finally decided adversely to that person. (c) This section and Sections 153.106, 153.107, and 153.109 do not protect a person from liability that arises under Sections 153.102-153.105.
