(a) If the amount held by a creditor to pay insurance premiums and the amounts for insurance to be paid to the creditor with installments before the due date of an insurance premium exceed the amount required to pay the insurance premium when it is due, the creditor, at the consumer's option, shall:
(1) repay the excess to the consumer; or
(2) credit the excess to the payment of the consumer's future insurance premium installments.
(b) If the amount held by the creditor to pay insurance premiums is not sufficient to pay an insurance premium when it is due, the consumer, not later than the 30th day after the date on which the creditor mails to the consumer notice requesting the consumer to pay the amount of the deficiency, shall pay to the creditor an amount equal to the amount of the deficiency.
(c) If the consumer fails to pay the amount under Subsection (b) for insurance required by the creditor under Section 347.201, the creditor may treat the deficiency in the same manner as provided by Section 347.203 for the consumer's failure to obtain the required insurance.
