Amend CSHB 3551 by adding an appropriately numbered Section 
____ to read as follows and renumber the subsequent sections 
accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  Section 24.005(b), Property Code, is amended 
and Section 24.005(b-1), Property Code, is added to read as 
follows:
	(b)  Except as provided in (b-1), if the occupant is a tenant 
at will or by sufferance, the landlord must give the tenant at least 
three days' written notice to vacate before the landlord files a 
forcible detainer suit unless the parties have contracted for a 
shorter or longer notice period in a written lease or agreement.
	(b-1)  If the property is the residence of the occupant, and 
the occupant was an owner of the property prior to a foreclosure 
sale of the property, the purchaser must give the occupant at least 
14 days' written notice to vacate.  If the property [a building] is 
purchased at a [tax foreclosure sale or a trustee's] foreclosure 
sale under a lien superior to a [the] tenant's lease and the tenant 
timely pays rent and is not otherwise in default under the tenant's 
lease after foreclosure, the purchaser must give a residential 
tenant of the property [building] at least 90 [30] days' written 
notice to vacate if the purchaser chooses not to continue or renew 
the lease.  The tenant is considered to timely pay the rent owed for 
the month of the foreclosure sale under this subsection if, during 
the month of the foreclosure sale, the tenant pays the rent for that 
month to the landlord [before receiving any notice that a 
foreclosure sale is scheduled during the month] or pays the rent for 
that month to [the foreclosing lienholder or] the purchaser at 
foreclosure not later than the fifth day after the date of receipt 
of a written notice of the name and address of the purchaser that 
requests a payment.  Before a foreclosure sale, a foreclosing 
lienholder may give written notice to a tenant stating that a 
foreclosure notice has been given to the landlord or owner of the 
property and specifying the date of the possible foreclosure, and 
may provide a warning that the removal of fixtures or the 
intentional damage of the property could subject the party to 
criminal prosecution.
	(b-2)  A notice to vacate given to an occupant or tenant 
pursuant to subsection (b-1) must state:
		(1)  the date the property was purchased at a 
foreclosure sale;      
		(2)  the name of the owner of the property, and the 
contact information for the owner or the owner's agent;
		(3)  the date that the owner demands the occupant or 
tenant vacate the property; and
		(4)  a statement in underlined or bold print that if a 
person was leasing the property prior to the foreclosure, the new 
owner of the property may be required to honor any lease still 
remaining on the property in some circumstances, otherwise the new 
owner is entitled to elect to terminate or fail to renew the lease 
and give the tenant a 90 day notice to vacate, and the failure to 
vacate the premises by the time stated in the notice may result in 
an eviction suit being filed against all occupants.
