Houston savings firm is closed after insolvency ruling
A Houston savings association, Surety Savings Association, was closed by the state savings and loan commissioner after a $1.2 million deficit as of May 31. Judge Herman Jones appointed Alvis Vandegriff receiver amid a suit by Attorney General Mark White. The federal agency had deemed the firm solvent earlier, and the Missouri buyer Farm and Home Savings of Nevada now operates Surety’s offices. A temporary restraining order freezes all asset moves. The Dec 31 1978 liabilities outweighed assets by $76,304, and a June 22 hearing will decide permanence of the action.
