Amend the Chisum amendment to HJR 73 as follows:
      (1)  On page 1, immediately after line 11, insert the
following:
      "(b)  The county may assess costs on the land on which the
private road is located for any unreimbursed costs incurred in
performing maintenance on the private road.
      (c)  The commissioners court shall provide by order for:
            (1)  the assessment of maintenance costs incurred under
Subsection (b);
            (2)  a method of giving notice of the assessment; and
            (3)  a method of recovering the expenses.
      (d)  Promptly after the assessment, the county must file for
record, in recordable form in the office of the county clerk in
which the land is located, a written notice of the imposition of a
lien, if any, that is imposed on the land.  The notice must contain
a legal description of the land, the amount of the assessment, and
the owner if known.  The lien arises and attaches to the land at
the time the notice of the assessment is recorded and indexed in
the office of the county clerk in the county in which the land is
located.  The notice to secure the assessment is inferior to any
previously recorded bona fide mortgage lien attached to the land to
which the county's lien attaches if the mortgage lien was filed for
record in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the
land is located before the date the notice is recorded and indexed
in the office of the county clerk.  The assessment lien is superior
to all other previously recorded judgment liens."
      (2)  On page 1, line 12, strike "this authority" and
substitute "the authority granted by this section".
      (3)  Redesignate current Subsection (b) of proposed Section
52g, Article III, on page 1, line 12, as Subsection (e).
