Art. 6228d. DEATH BEFORE RETIREMENT UNDER COUNTY RETIREMENT 
SYSTEMS.  Sec. 1. Any member of a retirement, disability and death 
compensation fund established by any county of this State pursuant 
to Section 62 of Article XVI of the Constitution of Texas, by 
written designation filed in such form and with such officer or 
employee as the Commissioners Court shall prescribe, may provide 
that the contributions made by such member to such fund, together 
with interest (if any) assigned to such contributions under such 
plan, shall be paid, in the event of the death of such member before 
retirement with an allowance of benefits from said fund, to such 
beneficiary as may be named by him in such written designation.  The 
member may change the beneficiary so designated, or revoke a 
designation previously made by filing with the Commissioners Court, 
or such officer or employee as may be designated by such Court, a 
notice in writing in such form as the Court may prescribe, of such 
change or revocation.
	In the event the member dies before such retirement, without 
so designating a beneficiary to receive his accumulated 
contributions and interest if any, or in the event the beneficiary 
so designated predeceases the member, such sums shall be paid to his 
estate.  Payment of the accumulated contributions and interest of a 
member to the executor or administrator of his estate, or to his 
designated beneficiary, shall discharge the fund and its 
administrative officers from any other or further liability 
therefor.
	Sec. 2. The provisions of this Act shall apply to all such 
retirement, disability and death compensation funds, whether such 
funds were established prior to the passage of this Act or 
subsequent to the passage of this Act.
