Amend HB 3630 (Senate committee printing) by adding the 
following SECTION to the bill, appropriately numbered, and 
renumbering subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
	SECTION ___.  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 the appraisal district indicate that the address of the 
property is also the address of the owner of the 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.
