Amend HB 1110 by striking SECTION 1 of the bill and
substituting the following:
      SECTION 1.  Section 342.006, Health and Safety Code, is
amended to read as follows:
      (a)  If the owner of property in the municipality does not
comply with a municipal ordinance or requirement under this chapter
within seven <10> days of notice of a violation, the municipality
may:
            (1)  do the work or make the improvements required; and
            (2)  pay for the work done or improvements made and
charge the expenses to the owner of the property.
      (b)  The notice must be given:
            (1)  personally to the owner in writing;
            (2)  by letter addressed to the owner at the owner's
<post office> address as recorded in the appraisal district records
of the appraisal district in which the property is located; or
            (3)  if personal service cannot be obtained <or the
owner's post office address is unknown>:
                  (A)  by publication at least once <twice within
10 consecutive days>;
                  (B)  by posting the notice on or near the front
door of each building on the property to which the violation
relates; or
                  (C)  by posting the notice on a placard attached
to a stake driven into the ground on the property to which the
violation relates, if the property contains no buildings.
      (c)  If a municipality mails a notice to a property owner in
accordance with Subsection (b), and the United States Postal
Service returns the notice as "refused" or "unclaimed," the
validity of the notice is not affected, and the notice is
considered as delivered.
      (d)  In a notice provided under this section, a <The>
municipality <in the notice of a violation> may inform the owner by
regular <certified> mail and a posting on the property<, return
receipt requested,> that if the owner commits another violation of
the same kind or nature that poses a danger to the public health
and safety on or before the first anniversary of the date of the
notice, the municipality without further notice may correct the
violation at the owner's expense and assess the expense against the
property.  If a violation covered by a notice under this subsection
occurs within the one-year period, and the municipality has not
been informed in writing by the owner of an ownership change, then
the municipality without notice may take any action permitted by
Subsections (a)(1) and (2) and assess its expenses as provided by
Section 342.007.
