Section 57.51 - Refund Determinations(a) An insurer that seeks a determination of the sufficiency or a refund of a semi-annual payment must file an amended report for each period and submit a written claim to the MVCPA director or the MVCPA board for a determination or a refund not later than four years after the date the semi-annual payment was made to the state comptroller.(b) The director or the MVCPA board designee shall review the claim and obtain from the insurer any additional information, if any, that may be necessary or helpful to assist in the MVCPA determination. If an insurer refuses to provide the requested information, the refund shall be denied in whole or in part.(c) The director or the MVCPA board designee is authorized to employ or retain the services of a third party, such as the state comptroller, to assist in the determination. The director or the designee shall prepare a written report to the MVCPA based on the director's or the designee's review and shall contain findings, conclusions, and a recommendation.(d) The MVCPA shall base its determination on the documentary evidence considered by the director or the MVCPA board designee. The MVCPA decision shall be based on a majority vote of the MVCPA board. The MVCPA decision is final and is not subject to judicial review.(e) Upon determining that an insurer is entitled to a refund, the MVCPA shall notify the comptroller and request the comptroller to draw warrants for the purpose of refunding overpayments.43 Tex.
