         76R6377 PAM-F                           
                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to the execution of certain writs in an action to
 1-3     determine possession of certain leased premises.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 93.003(d), Property Code, is amended to
 1-6     read as follows:
 1-7           (d)  The writ of reentry must be served on either the
 1-8     landlord or the landlord's management company, on-premises manager,
 1-9     or rent collector in the same manner as a writ of possession in a
1-10     forcible detainer action.  A sheriff or constable may use
1-11     reasonable force in executing a writ of reentry under this section.
1-12           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-13     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-14     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-15     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-16     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-17     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-18     passage, and it is so enacted.
