    If XACT_STATE() returns -1 [uncommitable transaction], you can't do anything else except rollback the current transaction. That is a logical restriction within SQL Server itself.

    In that case, you would have to re-issue the earlier statement(s) in the transaction to get them to apply again after the rollback.
