      TO: Honorable Rodney Ellis, Chair            IN RE:  Senate Bill No. 94
          Committee on Jurisprudence                              By: Patterson, Jerry
          Senate
          Austin, Texas
         
         
         
         
         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
         In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB94 ( Relating to the
creation, extension, renewal, or modification of deed restrictions applicable
to certain residential real estate subdivisions.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB94-As Introduced
         
             No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         
         
         
 
          
             This bill affects only the unincorporated areas of Brazoria, Fort Bend,
Galveston and Harris counties.  It would apply to those counties provisions for
the renewal of certain subdivision restrictions that currently only apply to the
City of Houston.  Since deed restrictions must be filed with the county clerk
in each county, the enactment of this bill could result in a nominal increase
in filings and subsequent costs to counties.

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
