N.M. Stat. § 59A-38-6
Limit on volume of insurance written.
A. A Lloyds Plan underwriters shall not assume nor write insurance on risks in this
state or for New Mexico residents which produces a net premium income in excess of
ten (10) times the underwriters' surplus. If at any time insurance in force produces a net
premium income greater than ten (10) times such surplus, the underwriters shall not
write any new insurance business until they can do so without exceeding such limit of
net premiums to surplus.
B. While the underwriters' surplus is in amount not less than the minimum amount of
capital funds (paid-in capital stock) required to be maintained under the Insurance Code
by a domestic stock insurer transacting the same kind of insurance, the limit upon
volume of business written otherwise applicable under this action shall not apply.
C. If in the superintendent's judgment the underwriters have effected and maintain
reinsurance or other contracts with insurers authorized to transact insurance in this
state, and which reduces the net insurance risk retained by the underwriters so that
their operations are safe and solvency not endangered, then the superintendent may
continue the certificate of authority to the underwriters without regard to the limitation
upon volume of insurance business in force otherwise provided for in this section.
