House Bill No. 1093 amends the Property Code to update the requirements for notice advertising the sale of property to enforce a self-service storage facility lien. The bill specifies that if a tenant fails to satisfy a claim within 14 days of receiving notice, the lessor must either publish or post notices advertising the sale or provide notice in a commercially reasonable manner. The amendments clarify the timeline for when a lessor can sell the property based on the method of notice given, including provisions for publication, posting, or other reasonable methods.

Additionally, the bill modifies the heading of Section 59.044 to reflect the focus on the method and content of notice advertising the sale. It introduces new requirements for how notices must be given, including the option to publish on a publicly accessible Internet website and the stipulation that notice is considered commercially reasonable if at least three independent bidders register for or attend the sale. The changes apply only to rental agreements entered into, extended, or renewed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025.
