separately described property for each year specified and one each person who owned the
propertyon January 1* of the year for which the tax was imposed. The person(s) sued
owned the property or owned an interest in the property when the suit was filed. The tax
was imposed in Harris County, Texas.
2. The tax is delinquent, in addition to the taxes stated in attached Exhibit “A”, penalties
and interest are due and continue to accrue. Costs are due for reasonable expenses in
determining the name, identity, and location of necessary parties and in procuring
necessary legal descriptions of the property on which the delinquent tax is due and
interest due, and for all usual court costs. Plaintiff seeks to recover attorney’s fees of 15
percent of the total amount of taxes, penalties and interest due. In addition, Plaintiff
claims the expenses of foreclosure sale as costs.
3. Plaintiff asserts a lien on each separately described property to secure the payment of all
taxes, penalties, interest and costs due and seeks foreclosure of the lien. All things
required by law to be done have been done property by the appropriate officials, and the
undersigned attorney is legally authorized to prosecute the suit on behalf of Plaintiff.
Plaintiff has given notice of the filing of this petition to the State of Texas, the County of
Harris, and all other taxing agencies, if any, as required by law. All parties to this suit
shall take notice that claims not only for any taxes which were delinquent on the property
at the time suit was filed, but also for all taxes becoming delinquent thereon and at any
time thereafter, and all interest, penalties, fees, expenses and costs allowed by law
thereon, shall be recovered without further notice or citation
to any parties
in this suit.
5. Plaintiff seeks personal judgment against Defendant(s) establishing the total amount of all
taxes, penalties, interest, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees, and costs of court. Plaintiff
does not seek personal judgment against Defendant Lienholder(s), if any. Plaintiff seeks
foreclosure of its tax lien against Defendant and Defendant Lienholder(s) if any.
Defendant Lienholders who are taxing units are notified that they must set up their tax
claims in this suit for recovery of their delinquent ad valorem taxes due on the property or
the court’s judgment shall reflect extinguishment of their liens, pursuant to TEX. TAX
CODE ANN § 33.44 (Vernon 1992).
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests personal judgment against the Defendant(s) owning
the property as of January 1" of each year these taxes were assessed, for the total amount of all
taxes, penalties, interest, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees, and costs of court that may be or
become legally due and owing, and requests judgment against Defendant(s) and Defendant
Lienholder(s) for foreclosure of the lien and payment of all taxes, penalties, interest, costs,
expenses, attorney’s fees, cost of court and other charges or expenses that are due or will become
due and that are secured by the lien, for extinguishment of tax liens of taxing units who are made
parties to this suit but who fail to file in this case their claims for delinquent taxes, for an order
that the property be sold to satisfy the judgment, and for all other relief to which it may be
entitled.
