(a) This section applies to a plan of life insurance that:
(1) provides for future premium determination, the amounts of which are to be determined by the insurance company based on then estimates of future experience; or
(2) is such that minimum values cannot be determined by a method described by Sections 1105.004-1105.009, Subchapter B, or Subchapter D.
(b) The department must be satisfied that:
(1) the benefits provided under the plan are substantially as favorable to policyholders and insureds as the minimum benefits otherwise required by Sections 1105.004-1105.009, Subchapter B, or Subchapter D; and
(2) the benefits and the pattern of premiums of the plan are not such as to mislead prospective policyholders or insured persons.

(c) The cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits provided by the plan may not be less than the minimum values and benefits required for the plan computed by a method consistent with the principles of this subchapter as determined under rules adopted by the commissioner.
(d) Notwithstanding any other law of this state, any policy, contract, or certificate providing life insurance under the plan must be approved by the department before the plan may be marketed, issued, delivered, or used in this state.
