Texas Governor signed their bill SB 690 and it will go into effect 1-1-2012
Highlights of the changes to the self-storage lien law:
• Changed the required type of mailing for the notice of claim from certified to verified mail (any type of mail with proof of mailing)
• Also allows lien notification of tenants via e-mail if they provide an address and the lease contains necessary language notifying that tenant notices will be sent electronically
• Requires special language in the notice of claim for active duty military customers
• Incorporates rules of Chapter 70 into Chapter 59 so that special foreclosure procedures are not subject to changes meant only for mechanics’ liens
