| (d) Except as provided by Subsection (d-1), a [ |
||
| clerk shall, without prior approval from any other authority, | ||
| record declarations and amendments to declarations in the real | ||
| property records and record condominium plats or plans in the real | ||
| property records or in books maintained for that purpose. If a | ||
| county clerk maintains a book for the condominium plat records, the | ||
| book shall be the same size and type as the book for recording | ||

| effect for that purpose. | ||
