House Bill 2926 amends the Tax Code to require an officer who conducts the sale of real property that has been seized under a tax warrant or ordered sold pursuant to foreclosure of a tax lien to provide a copy of the officer's return to the county assessor-collector for each county in which the real property is located if, within six months of the sale, the successful bidder fails to present the officer with an unexpired statement indicating whether there are any delinquent taxes owed by the bidder. The bill requires the county assessor-collector to file the copy of the return with the appropriate county clerk, and it requires the county clerk to record the return and to index and cross-index it in the name of the successful bidder and each former owner of the property.
