Sec. 271.094. NOTICE, DEPOSIT OF DEBT SERVICE, AUTHORIZATION, AND TRANSMITTAL. (a) If a local government enters into an agreement with the board under Section 271.092 , the board on notification from the local government, the custodian bank, or the paying agent for the local government that the local government is unable or has failed to pay amounts as required by the agreement or to pay principal of or interest on the obligation when due, shall notify the comptroller, who shall withhold sufficient money from any payment to which such local government may be entitled and apply so much thereof as shall be necessary to pay the amounts then due as provided in this section.
(b) The local government may in the agreement agree to make monthly deposits of one-sixth of the semiannual debt service requirement, or such other amount at such other times as specified in the agreement, into an interest and sinking fund in a custodian bank. If a bank agrees to serve as custodian for the interest and sinking fund, it shall be the duty of the bank to notify the board if the agreed upon amount of funds is not deposited each month or other specified time on a timely basis as specified in the agreement.
(c) On receiving notification and direction from the board, the comptroller is authorized to withhold from any payment an amount equal to the amount to have been deposited by the local government pursuant to the agreement. The comptroller shall continue to withhold payments until the required amounts have been deposited in the interest and sinking fund with the custodian bank or with the paying agent. If the required amounts have not been deposited at the time interest on or principal of the obligation of the local government is required to be deposited pursuant to the agreement, the comptroller shall transmit, from payments withheld, the appropriate amount to the custodian bank or to the paying agent, as directed by the board.
(d) The board shall cause a copy of any notice given pursuant to this section to be promptly given to the local government.
