House Bill 3479 amends the Property Code to allow the county clerk of certain counties with a population of less than 15,000 that are located on the international border, before accepting an instrument conveying real property for filing, to send the instrument to the county attorney to determine whether the instrument meets platting requirements. The county clerk is required to notify the party that presented the instrument for recording of the review of the instrument.
The bill extends certain rights of redemption after foreclosure granted to a property owner under the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act to a lienholder of record, but prohibits a lienholder from redeeming property before a certain date or if the owner has previously redeemed.
