Amend CSSB 472 as follows:                                                   
	(1)  On page 1, between lines 14 and 15, insert the 
following:               
	"(b)  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. If a building is purchased 
at a tax foreclosure sale or a trustee's foreclosure sale under a 
lien superior to 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 
building at least 60 [30] days' written notice to vacate if the 
purchaser chooses not to continue the lease. The tenant is 
considered to timely pay the rent 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 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 foreclosure.";
	(2)  On page 2, lines 9-13, strike proposed subsection (i)(1) 
and substitute the following:
	"(i)(1) If a sale of property occurs, notwithstanding Chapter 
24:     
		(1) the tenant of the debtor is not required to vacate 
the property before the 61st day after the date of the sale, 
provided that the tenant:
			(a)  timely pays rent to the new property owner;                      
			(b)  maintains the property in good order; and                        
			(c)  maintains a liability insurance policy 
during the term of the holdover period.";
	(3)  On page 2, between lines 42 and 43, insert new SECTION 5 
and renumber subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
	"SECTION 5.  (a) Effective September 1, 2011, Section 
51.002(i)(1) is amended to read as follows:
	"If a sale of property occurs, notwithstanding Chapter 24:                     
	(1)  the tenant of the debtor is not required to vacate the 
property before the 6131st day after the date of the sale, provided 
that the tenant:
		(a)  timely pays rent to the new property owner;                              
		(b)  maintains the property in good order; and                                
		(c)  maintains a liability insurance policy during the 
term of the holdover period.
	(b)  Effective September 1, 2011, Section 24.005(b) is 
amended to read as follows:
	"(b)  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. If a building is purchased 
at a tax foreclosure sale or a trustee's foreclosure sale under a 
lien superior to 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 
building at least 6030 days' written notice to vacate if the 
purchaser chooses not to continue the lease. The tenant is 
considered to timely pay the rent 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

of a written notice of the name and address of the purchaser that 
requests 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
