liability for that assessment.
	(c)  A telecommunications utility or commercial mobile 
service provider subject to Subchapter C, Chapter 57, Utilities

the receipts of the taxable entity from its business done in this 
state as determined under Section 171.103[, except that receipts 
derived from the sale of tangible personal property between 
individual members of a combined group where one member party to the

	(c)  In the event of a conflict between a provision of this

Act of the 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007, providing for 
identical amendment of those sections do not become law, the 
Section of this Act repealing Subchapter C, Chapter 57, Utilities 
Code, has no effect.
