FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1012 by Dutton (Relating to access to a residence or former residence to retrieve certain personal property.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Property Code to require that a person applying for a writ authorizing entry to a former residence to retrieve personal property must apply to, if applicable, the court that has jurisdiction over a pending suit under the Family Code or which has jurisdiction over a divorce decree or annulment. For all other cases, the bill would require application to a justice court.

Based on information provided by the Office of Court Administration, no significant fiscal impact to the state court system is anticipated as a result from implementing the provisions of the bill.

Local Government Impact
