numbered sections and renumbering the remaining sections of the
bill appropriately:
      SECTION     .  Section 171.098, Civil Practice and Remedies
Code, is repealed.
      SECTION     .  The provisions of this Act that repeal Section
171.098, Civil Practice and Remedies Code, apply only to an order
issued or judgment entered by a court on or after the effective

effective date of this Act is governed by the law as it existed
immediately before the effective date of this Act, and that law is
continued in effect for that purpose.
