§ 406.097. EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEES OF CERTAIN BUSINESS
ENTITIES. (a) A sole proprietor, partner, or corporate executive
officer of a business entity that elects to provide workers'
compensation insurance coverage is entitled to benefits under that
coverage as an employee unless the sole proprietor, partner, or
corporate executive officer is specifically excluded from coverage
through an endorsement to the insurance policy or certificate of
authority to self-insure.
(b) The dual capacity doctrine does not apply to a corporate
executive officer with an equity ownership in the covered business
entity of at least 25 percent and will not invalidate the exclusion
of such a corporate executive officer from coverage under
Subsection (a).
(c) A sole proprietor or partner of a covered business
entity or a corporate officer with an equity ownership in a covered
business entity of at least 25 percent may be excluded from coverage
under this section notwithstanding Section 406.096.
