	S.B. No. 267




	AN ACT
	relating to a joint statement regarding the transfer of a motor
	vehicle as the result of a gift.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 152.062, Tax Code, is amended by adding
	Subsection (b-2) to read as follows:
	(b-2) A joint statement required by Subsection (b)(3) that
	relates to a gift from a person or estate described by Section
	152.025(a)(1) must be filed in person by the recipient of the gift
	or, as applicable, the person from whom the gift is received or a
	person authorized to act on behalf of the estate from which the gift
	is received. A motor vehicle title service required to be licensed
	under Chapter 520, Transportation Code, may not be used to file the
	statement. The person who files the statement must present to the
	tax assessor-collector an unexpired identification document issued
	to the person that bears the person's photograph and is:
	(1) a driver's license or personal identification card
	issued by this state or another state of the United States;
	(2) an original United States passport or an original
	passport issued by a foreign country;
	(3) an identification card or similar form of
	identification issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice;
	(4) a United States military identification card; or
	(5) an identification card or document issued by the
	United States Department of Homeland Security or United States
	Citizenship and Immigration Services.
	SECTION 2. This Act applies only to a joint statement
	relating to the transfer of a motor vehicle as the result of a gift
	that is filed with a tax assessor-collector of a county on or after
	the effective date of this Act. A joint statement that is filed
	before that date is governed by the law in effect on the date the
	statement is filed, and that law is continued in effect for that
	purpose.
	SECTION 3. The change in law made by this Act does not
	affect tax liability accruing before the effective date of this
	Act. That liability continues in effect as if this Act had not been
	enacted, and the former law is continued in effect for the
	collection of taxes due and for civil and criminal enforcement of
	the liability for those taxes.
	SECTION 4. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
	a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
	provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
	Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
	Act takes effect September 1, 2011.
