IN RE:
HB3364 by Schofield (Relating to the appeal of a judgment in an eviction suit.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Property Code to provide that the final judgment of a county court in an eviction suit cannot be appealed on the issue of possession unless the premises in question are being used for residential purposes only. Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
