        |  | A BILL TO BE ENTITLED | 
      
        |  | AN ACT | 
      
        |  | relating to the correction of an ad valorem tax appraisal roll. | 
      
        |  | BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | 
      
        |  | SECTION 1.  Section 25.25(c), Tax Code, is amended to read as | 
      
        |  | follows: | 
      
        |  | (c)  The appraisal review board, on motion of the chief | 
      
        |  | appraiser or of a property owner, may direct by written order | 
      
        |  | changes in the appraisal roll for any of the five preceding years to | 
      
        |  | correct: | 
      
        |  | (1)  clerical errors that affect a property owner's | 
      
        |  | liability for a tax imposed in that tax year; | 
      
        |  | (2)  multiple appraisals of a property in that tax | 
      
        |  | year; [ or] | 
      
        |  | (3)  the inclusion of property that does not exist in | 
      
        |  | the form or at the location described in the appraisal roll; or | 
      
        |  | (4)  an error in which property is shown as owned by a |

        |  | filed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law |
