                           FISCAL NOTE
                       74th Regular Session

                          March 21, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Todd A. Hunter, Chair        IN RE:  House Bill No. 2042
         Committee on Civil Practices                   By: Hochberg
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
2042 (relating to civil remedies for certain nuisances) this
office has determined the following:

The bill would provide for the appointment of a receiver as an
additional remedy in nuisance cases.  The court on its own motion
or on the motion of any party may order the appointment of a
receiver to manage the property for up to one year.  The court
determines the amount paid, the method of payment and the payment
periods.  If the court orders one of the parties to pay the
receiver, there will be no costs to the local units of
government.  If, however, the court pays the receiver, then the
costs are incurred by the local units of government.


No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The fiscal implication to  units of local government cannot be
determined.
