	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 33.22(c), Tax Code, is amended to read as
	follows:
	(c) The court shall issue the tax warrant if the applicant

	(1) the person whose property the applicant [he]
	intends to seize is delinquent in the payment of taxes, penalties,
	and interest in the amount stated in the application; or
	(2) [~~the applicant has reason to believe the property~~
	~~owner is about to remove from the county personal property on which~~
	~~a tax has been or will be imposed, the applicant knows of no other~~
	~~personal property the person owns in the county from which the tax~~
	~~may be satisfied, and~~] taxes in a stated amount have been imposed on
	the property or taxes in an estimated amount will be imposed on the
	property, the applicant knows of no other personal property the

	liquidation sale in connection with the cessation of a business.
	SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to
	an application for a tax warrant filed on or after the effective

	this Act is governed by the law as it existed immediately before the
