Relating to requirements for notice advertising the sale of property to enforce a self-service storage facility lien.
HB 1093 modifies Texas Property Code requirements for self-service storage facilities seeking to sell tenant property to recover unpaid fees. It specifies that facilities must advertise sales through one of three methods: publishing in a local newspaper (with a 15-day wait), posting notices at the facility and five other visible locations (10-day wait), or using a public auction website (10-day wait). The bill defines "commercially reasonable notice" as requiring at least three registered bidders for the sale, regardless of location. This law applies only to new or renewed storage rental agreements entered into on or after September 1, 2025.
