No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Property Code relating to property owners' associations. Certain provisions of the bill would apply only to a property owners' association, which is not a governmental entity.
The bill would require the Supreme Court of Texas to adopt rules establishing expedited foreclosure proceedings in cases in which a property owners' association seeks to foreclose an assessment lien.
According to the Office of Court Administration (OCA), the bill is not anticipated to cause an increase in the workload of the courts.
Local Government Impact
