Suspending limitations on conference committee
jurisdiction, H.B. No. 1690 (Keel/R. West)











By:  West                                     S.R. No. 1093



SENATE RESOLUTION
	BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 79th 
Legislature, Regular Session, 2005, That Senate Rule 12.03 be 
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the 
conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on 
House Bill 1690 (common nuisance) to consider and take action on 
the following matters:
	(1)  Senate Rules 12.03(3) and (4) are suspended to permit 
the committee to add the following language to Subsection (d), 
Section 125.004, Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as added by 
the bill:

The posting of a sign prohibiting the activity alleged is not 
conclusive evidence that the owner did not tolerate the activity.
	Explanation:  The added language is necessary to ensure 
that posting of a sign by a real property owner prohibiting the 
activity constituting a common nuisance alleged to have occurred 
does not conclusively establish that the owner did not tolerate 
the alleged activity.
	(2)  Senate Rules 12.03(3) and (4) are suspended to permit 
the committee to add the following language to Section 125.044, 
Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as amended by the bill:
	(b-1)  The posting of a sign prohibiting the activity 
alleged is not conclusive evidence that the owner did not 
tolerate the activity.
	Explanation:  The added language is necessary to ensure 
that posting of a sign by a real property owner prohibiting the 
activity constituting a common nuisance alleged to have occurred 
does not conclusively establish that the owner did not tolerate 
the alleged activity.
