	Sec. 22.64.  Confidential Information.  (a)  A sales price

lawful subpoena;
		(2)  to a purchaser, grantee, seller, or grantor named 
in the report or in the deed to which the report applies or to a 
representative of the purchaser, grantee, seller, or grantor under 
a written authorization signed by the purchaser, grantee, seller, 
or grantor or otherwise to a state certified or licensed appraiser 
under a written authorization signed by the purchaser, grantee, 
seller, or grantor;
		(3)  to the comptroller or to an assessor for a taxing 
unit in which the property described in the report is located;

			(A)  to which the purchaser, grantee, seller, or 
grantor is a party;
			(B)  to which an owner of the property described in 
the report is a party; or
			(C)  by the appraisal district for the purpose of 
establishing a value of the property or of providing evidence of 
comparable sales to appraise another property;
		(5)  for statistical purposes if the information is 
provided in a form that does not identify a specific property or 
specific purchaser, grantee, seller, or grantor;
		(6)  if and to the extent that the information is 
required to be included in a public document or record that the 
appraisal office is required to prepare or maintain; or

not lose its confidential character.
	(d)  A person, other than the purchaser, grantee, seller, or 
grantor, who obtains a sales price disclosure report or information 
from the report commits an offense if the person:
		(1)  discloses the report or information to a person who 
is not authorized under this section to receive the report or 
information; or
		(2)  permits such a person to view, read, or copy the 
report or information.
	(e)  An offense under Subsection (d) is a Class B misdemeanor.          
	(f)  It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (d) that 
the person who received information contained in the sales price 
disclosure report obtained the information from:
		(1)  a purchaser, grantee, seller, or grantor of the 
property described in the report; or
		(2)  a document or record other than the sales price 
disclosure report.
