Senate Bill 1614 |
Senate Author: Wentworth |
|
Effective: 9-1-09 |
House Sponsor: Miller, Doug |
Current law requires that a copy of an order conveying title to a public road or portion of a public road that is closed, abandoned, and vacated to the owner of the abutting property be filed in the deed records of a county and specifies that the copy serves as the official instrument of conveyance from the county to the owner. Senate Bill 1614 amends the Transportation Code to require such an order to include the name of each property owner who receives a conveyance and the dimensions of the property conveyed to each recipient and to be indexed in the deed records of the county in a manner that describes the county conveying the property as grantor and the property owner receiving the conveyance as grantee.
