following:

or control when the notice of levy is served on the person.
(B) The amount of each payment that becomes due following service
of the notice of levy on the person and prior to the expiration of
the levy.

earnings as that term is defined in subdivision (a) of Section
706.011 of the Code of Civil Procedure or funds in a deposit account
as defined in paragraph (29) of subdivision (a) of Section 9102 of

otherwise.
(e) In the case of a financial institution, to be effective, the
notice shall state the amount due from the taxpayer and shall be
delivered or mailed to the branch or office of the financial
institution where the credits or other property is held, unless
another branch or office is designated by the financial institution
