                          April 4, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Clyde Alexander, Chair       IN RE:  House Bill No. 2516
         Committee on Transportation                    By: Bosse
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
2516 (Relating to payment of certain amounts due to the operator
of a vehicle storage facility.) this office has determined the
following:

The bill would make a lienholder who repossesses a vehicle or the
insurance company who pays a claim for total loss of a vehicle
held in a storage facility, liable for all unpaid amounts owed
the vehicle storage facility operator.  This would be the case
regardless of whether the amounts accrued before the vehicle was
repossessed or the claim was paid.


No fiscal implication to the State or units of local government
is anticipated.
