Senate Bill 1368 amends the Property Code to establish conditions under which a co‑owner of residential property is authorized to act in the name of and on behalf of another co‑owner, whether known or unknown, as the co-owner's statutory agent and attorney-in-fact. The bill specifies the scope of such authority, makes the authority applicable only to residential property that meets specified criteria, and authorizes the occupying co-owner to establish the authority by filing certain documentation in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the real property is located.
