validity of a tax sale after the time set forth in Section
33.54(a)(1) or (2), as applicable to the property, against a
subsequent purchaser for value who acquired the property in
reliance on the tax sale.  Such purchaser may conclusively presume
that the tax sale was valid and shall have full title to the
property free and clear of the right, title, and interest of any
person that arose before the tax sale, subject only to recorded
restrictive covenants and valid easements of record set forth in
Section 34.01(d) and subject to applicable rights of redemption.
      (c)  If a person is not barred from bringing an action
challenging the validity of  a tax sale under Subsection (b) or any
other provision of this code or applicable law, such person must
bring an action no later than two years after the cause of action
accrues to recover real property claimed by another who:  (1)  pays
applicable taxes on the real property before overdue; and (2)
claims the property under a registered deed executed pursuant to
Section 34.01.  This subsection does not apply to a claim based on
a forged deed."
