55-9-325. Priority of security interests in transferred collateral.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (b) of this section, a security interest created by a debtor is subordinate to a security interest in the same collateral created by another person if:
(1) the debtor acquired the collateral subject to the security interest created by the other person;
(2) the security interest created by the other person was perfected when the debtor acquired the collateral; and
(3) there is no period thereafter when the security interest is unperfected.
(b) Subsection (a) of this section subordinates a security interest only if the security interest:
(1) otherwise would have priority solely under Subsection (a) of Section 55-9-322 NMSA 1978 or under Section 55-9-324 NMSA 1978; or
(2) arose solely under Subsection (3) of Section 55-2-711 or Subsection (5) of Section 55-2A-508 NMSA 1978.
