         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 59.006, Finance Code, is amended by
  adding Subsection (b-1) to read as follows:
         (b-1)  If the requesting party has not paid a financial
  institution's costs or posted a cost bond as required by Subsection
  (b)(2), a court may not:
               (1)  order the financial institution to produce a
  record in response to the record request; or

  of court for failing to produce the record.

  Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the request was
  submitted, and the former law is continued in effect for that
  purpose.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2015.
