RECORDATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) Recordation of a lien under this chapter is considered to occur when:
(1) the department's titling system is updated; or
(2) the county assessor-collector accepts the application of title that discloses the lien with the filing fee.
(b) For purposes of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, the time of recording a lien under this chapter is considered to be the time of filing the security interest, and on such recordation, the recorded lienholder and assignees under Section 501.114 obtain priority over the rights of a lien creditor, as defined by Section 9.102, Business & Commerce Code, for so long as the lien is recorded on the title.
