(1) administrative expenses;

(2) approved claims of secured creditors to the extent of the value of the security as provided by Section 36.304;

(3) approved claims of beneficiaries of insufficient commingled fiduciary money or missing fiduciary property and approved claims of depositors of the bank;

(4) other approved claims of general creditors not falling within a higher priority under this section, including unsecured claims for taxes and debts due the federal government or a state or local government;

(5) approved claims of a type described by Subdivisions (1)-(4) that were not filed within the period prescribed by this subchapter; and
