Amend CSHB 3485 (Senate committee printing) by adding the 
following SECTIONS and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS 
appropriately:
	SECTION ____.  Subsection (a), Section 250.003, Local 
Government Code, is amended to read as follows:
	(a)  An individual who is an employee of the owner of real 
property for which a citation for a violation of a county or 
municipal rule or ordinance is issued, or of a company that manages 
the property on behalf of the property owner, is not personally 
liable for criminal or civil penalties resulting from the violation 
if, not later than five calendar days after the date the citation is 
issued, the individual provides the property owner's name, current
street address, and telephone number to the enforcement official 
who issues the citation or the official's superior.
	SECTION ____.  Section 250.004, Local Government Code, is 
amended to read as follows:
	Sec. 250.004.  AGENT FOR SERVICE; NOTICE OF CITATION.  
(a)  The [If the property owner's street address is not in this 
state, the] employee of the owner or management company to whom a 
citation described by Section 250.003 is issued is considered the 
owner's agent for accepting service of the citation for the 
violation of the county or municipal rule or ordinance.  Service of 
the citation on the agent has the same legal effect as service on 
the owner for the purpose of fines against the owner or the 
property, including a warrant or capias.
	(b)  The county or municipality issuing the citation shall 
mail notice of the citation to the property owner at the address 
most recently provided to the county or municipality by the 
property owner or by the employee of the owner or management company 
under Section 250.003(a).  This subsection does not require a 
county or municipality to mail notice using a service that provides 
delivery confirmation.
	SECTION ____. The change in law made by Section 250.003 and 
250.004, Local Government Code, is effective on or after January 1, 
2010.
