Abstract

The Texas Legislature passed House Bill 1185 (H.B. 1185) during the 75th Legislature in 1997 as a part of a bill dealing with the fraudulent liens that were being filed at that time by members of the Republic of Texas.

The House Research Organization summarized the bill as follows:

CSHB 1185 would establish criminal penalties for filing and holding fraudulent court documents and impersonating public servants. The bill also would require court clerks to notify persons if they suspected a fraudulent document has been filed; establish a process for judicial review and removal of potentially fraudulent court documents; and create a specific civil cause of action for making or using fraudulent court records, liens or claims against property.
