	Amend CSHB 669 by striking all below the enacting clause and 
substituting the following:
	SECTION 1.  Section 12.002, Civil Practice and Remedies 
Code, is amended by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
	(c)  A person claiming a lien under Chapter 53, Property 
Code, is not liable under this section for the making, 
presentation, or use of a document or other record in connection 
with the assertion of the claim unless the person acts with intent 
to defraud.
	SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only 
to a cause of action that accrues on or after the effective date of 
this Act.  A cause of action that accrues before the effective date 
of this Act is governed by the law in effect immediately before that 
date, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
	SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2009.
