By: Williams S.B. No. 266
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to notice required in connection with possessory liens on
motor vehicles.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 70.006(h), Property Code, is amended to
read as follows:
(h) Not later than the 10th day after the date the county tax
assessor-collector receives notice under this section, the county
tax assessor-collector shall provide a copy of the notice to the
owner of the motor vehicle and each holder of a lien recorded on the
certificate of title of the motor vehicle. Except as provided by
this subsection, the county tax assessor-collector shall provide
the notice required by this section in the same manner as a holder
of a lien is required to provide a notice under this section.
Notice under this section is required regardless of the date on
which the charges on which the possessory lien is based accrued.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to notice received by a county tax assessor-collector on or after
the effective date of this Act. Notice received by a county tax
assessor-collector before the effective date of this Act is
governed by the law in effect at the time notice was received, and
that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2011.
