Amend HB 2167 by adding the following SECTION to the bill, 
appropriately numbered, and renumbering existing SECTIONS 
accordingly:
	SECTION ____. (a) Section 25.19, Tax Code, is amended by 
adding Subsection (b-2) and amending Subsection (d) to read as 
follows:
	(b-2) This subsection applies only to a notice of appraised 
value for residential real property that has not qualified for a 
residence homestead exemption in the current tax year. If the 
records of an appraisal district show that a property owner has the 
same address as that property, in addition to containing the 
applicable information required by Subsections (b), (b-1), and (f), 
the notice must contain the following statement in boldfaced 
12-point type: "According to the records of the appraisal district, 
the residential real property described in this notice of appraised 
value is not currently being allowed a residence homestead 
exemption from ad valorem taxation. If the property is your home and 
you occupy it as your principal place of residence, the property may 
qualify for one or more residence homestead exemptions, which will 
reduce the amount of taxes imposed on the property. The form needed 
to apply for a residence homestead exemption is enclosed. Although 
the form may state that the deadline for filing an application for a 
residence homestead exemption is April 30, a late application for a 
residence homestead exemption will be accepted if filed before 
February 1, (insert year application must be filed). There is no fee 
or charge for filing an application or a late application for a 
residence homestead exemption." The notice must be accompanied by 
an application form for a residence homestead exemption.
	(d) Failure to receive a [the] notice required by this 
section does not affect the validity of the appraisal of the 
property, the imposition of any tax on the basis of the appraisal, 
the existence of any tax lien, the deadline for filing an 
application for a residence homestead exemption, or any proceeding 
instituted to collect the tax.
	(b) This section takes effect January 1, 2008.
