taxes were imposed, a suit to foreclose the lien securing payment
of the taxes or to enforce personal liability for the taxes must be
brought under Section 33.41, Tax Code, in a court of competent
jurisdiction in the county in which the taxes were imposed.
      (c)  If the probate proceedings have been pending for four

the estate to the personal representative of the estate in the
probate proceedings.

      (e)  To foreclose the lien securing payment of the delinquent
taxes, the taxing unit must bring a suit under Section 33.41, Tax
Code, in a court of competent jurisdiction for the county in which

claim under Subsection (c) of this section against the estate in
