            House Bill 699 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to authorize the commissioners court of a county, under certain conditions, to designate an area other than an area at the county courthouse where public sales of real property taken in execution on judgment will take place and to require the sales to be held at an area so designated under certain additional conditions.
