Vol. 29                                 March  1992                                   No. 1


IN THIS   ISSUE   . . .
Summaries   of  Certain  State
Securities Board Staff No-Action
and Interpretative Letters, by a
subcommittee  of the Securities
Law  Committee  of the Business
Law  Section, is the second of a
series of  articles summarizing
significant   no-action   and
interpretative letters of the Staff
of  the Texas  State Securities
Board with respect to the Texas
Securities Act and the Rules of
the Board. This article concerns
no-action  and   interpretative
letters issued from September
1985 through August 1986. The
subcommittee consists of Patsy W.
Nichols, Chairperson, and Mary
Alice Lapham   and Eugene  W.
Albert, and  has  received the

Preferential Transfers in  the
Fifth Circuit:  Is TB.  Wester
Foods, Inc. Our Deprizio? Not!,
by  William L. Wallander   and
James S. Brouner, describes the
conflict between federal circuit
courts   regarding    indirect
preferential transfers avoidable
under the Bankruptcy Code  and
assesses the view of the Fifth
Circuit in its recent decision in
the T.B. Westex Foods, Inc. case.
The conflict concerns whether a
bankruptcy trustee can avoid and


recover a transfer made to a non-
insider creditor more than 90 days
but less than one  year before
bankruptcy  when  the  transfer
benefitted an  insider creditor.
This article concludes that the
Fifth Circuit disagrees with the
theory adopted in the Seventh
Circuit's decision in the Deprizio
case. This article also analyzes
the   conflicting theories  by
indicating their differing results
when  applied to various hypo-
thetical situations. Page 8.

Cures for the Junk Bond Hang-
over, by Ford Lacy and David M.
Dolan,  describes the principal
methods, apart from bankruptcy,
of  restructuring the terms of
outstanding debt securities and
addresses  various  issues  or
problems that arise under federal
securities laws  when    those
methods are employed. Page 27.
