existence of a tax lien, or any procedure instituted to
collect a tax (Section 31.01 (g), Texas Property Tax
Code). If you have not received your statement by the

day to pay without penalty and interest charges is

postmark and/or payment on the next business day.)

*State
law automatically places a tax lien on property on
January 1st of each year to insure that taxes
are paid. The person who owned the property on January

the tax, even if the property were sold during the year.
