	(1)  Add the following appropriately numbered SECTIONS to 
the bill and renumber subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  Section 1.111, Tax Code, is amended by adding 
Subsection (j) to read as follows:
	(j)  An individual exempt from registration as a property tax 
consultant under Section 1152.002, Occupations Code, who files a 
protest with the appraisal review board on behalf of the property 
owner is entitled to receive all notices from the appraisal 
district regarding the property subject to the protest until the 
authority is revoked by the property owner as provided by this 
section.
	SECTION ____.  Section 42.29(a), Tax Code, is amended to 
read as follows:    
	(a)  A property owner who prevails in an appeal to the court 
under Section 42.25 or 42.26 or in an appeal to the court of a 
determination of an appraisal review board on a motion filed under 
Section 25.25 may be awarded reasonable attorney's fees.  The 
amount of the award may not exceed the greater of:
		(1)  $15,000; or                                                              
		(2)  20 percent of the total amount by which the 
property owner's tax liability is reduced as a result of the appeal.
	SECTION ____.  The change in law made by this Act to Section 
42.29, Tax Code, applies only to an appeal under Chapter 42, Tax 
Code, of a determination of an appraisal review board that is filed 
on or after the effective date of this Act.  An appeal under Chapter 
42, Tax Code, of a determination of an appraisal review board that 
was filed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the 
law in effect on the date the appeal was filed, and the former law is 
continued in effect for that purpose.
	(2)  In SECTION 2 of the bill, between "this Act" and 
"applies" (page 1, line 56), insert "to Section 41.45, Tax Code,".
