         on General Investigating met in a public hearing and was called  
         to order by the chair, Representative Bailey, at 8:21 a.m.

         Chairman Bailey called on Jason Cooke from Texas Health and  
         Human Services Commission to answer questions concerning the  
         CHIP program. Mr. Cooke could not provide answers concerning the  
         amount of money owed to Clarendon, nor could he provide  
         information on how much has been paid. 
          
         Chairman Bailey then called on Dominic Hagger, Senior  
         vice-president of Clarendon Insurance to explain his company's  
         role in the CHIP program and answer questions from members. 
          
         At 9:00 a.m., on motion of the chair and without objection, the  
         meeting took a brief recess to allow Dominic Hagger to make a  
         phone call to obtain information concerning monies owed by the  
         State of Texas to Clarendon Insurance. 
          
         The committee reconvened at 9:20 a.m. and was called back to  
         order by the chair, Representative Bailey. The roll was not  
         recalled since members, Bailey, Paxton and Flynn were still  
         present. 
          
         Chairman Bailey recalled Dominic Hagger to testify and provide  
         the information he obtained from Clarendon concerning the  
         outstanding amount owed by the State of Texas. 
          
         Chairman Bailey called on Michael Masters, from Community Health  
         Solutions of America, a CHIPS subcontractor to answer questions  
         from members. 
          
         At 10:04 a.m., on the motion of the chair and without objection,  
         the meeting was adjourned subject to the call of the chair.
