	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the public sale of real property taken in execution of a
	judgment.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 34.041, Civil Practice and Remedies
	Code, is amended by adding Subsection (a-1) and amending Subsection
	(b) to read as follows:
	(a-1) The commissioners court of a county by official action
	may authorize the officer charged with conducting a public sale of
	real property taken in execution to conduct a public auction using
	online bidding and sale. The commissioners court may adopt rules
	governing online auctions authorized under this subsection. Rules
	adopted by the commissioners court under this subsection take
	effect on the 90th day after the date the rules are published in the
	real property records of the county.
	(b) The commissioners court of a county may designate an
	area other than an area at the county courthouse where public sales
	of real property under this chapter will take place that is in a
	public place within a reasonable proximity of the county courthouse
	as determined by the commissioners court and in a location as
	accessible to the public as the courthouse door. The commissioners
	court shall record that designation in the real property records of
	the county. A designation by a commissioners court under this
	section is not a ground for challenging or invalidating any
	sale. Except for a sale conducted under Subsection (a) or (a-1), a
	sale must be held at an area designated under this subsection if the
	sale is held on or after the 90th day after the date the designation
	is recorded. The commissioners court may by order authorize a
	county official or employee to identify separate locations within
	the designated area for the conduct of sales under this section and
	for the conduct of sales by peace officers under other laws.
	SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
