Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1344 by Huffines (Relating to the removal of a tenant's personal property after a writ of possession has been issued in an eviction suit.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Property Code to permit a municipality to provide a portable closed container for personal property being removed from a residence under Section 24.0061, Property Code.
Local Government Impact
There could be costs to a municipality that chose to store personal property under the provisions of the bill. However, it is assumed that a municipality would store personal property only if sufficient funds were available or it would not result in a negative fiscal impact; therefore, no significant fiscal impact is anticipated.
