House Bill 435 amends the Government Code to authorize the clerk of a court in which a court cost or fee was imposed on a party in a civil case, other than the supreme court, the court of criminal appeals, or a court of appeals, to request the court to make a finding that the cost or fee is uncollectible if the cost or fee has been unpaid for at least 15 years. On such a finding, the court may order the clerk to designate the cost or fee as uncollectible in the fee record.
House Bill 435 makes Code of Criminal Procedure provisions governing uncollectible costs and fees in criminal actions and proceedings applicable to all counties.
