Tex. Tax Code § 113.106 — LIEN; SUIT TO DETERMINE VALIDITY

(a) In an action to determine the validity of a state tax lien, the lien shall be: (1) perpetuated and foreclosed; or (2) nullified. (b) If a lien is perpetuated and foreclosed, no further action or notice on the judgment is required, and the notice of the state tax lien on record continues in effect. (c) If all or part of a lien is nullified, a certified copy of the judgment may be filed with the county clerk of the county where the tax lien notice was filed and may be recorded in the same manner as a release by the comptroller. (d) Execution, order for sale, or other process for the enforcement of the lien may be issued on the judgment at any time. (e) A person must bring suit to determine the validity of a state tax lien not later than the 10th anniversary of the date the lien was filed. If more than one state tax lien has been filed relating to the same tax liability, the 10-year limitation period provided by this subsection is calculated from the date of the filing of the first lien relating to the liability. (f) A taxpayer is presumed to have received proper notice of the taxpayer's tax liability if the notice is delivered to the taxpayer's last address of record with the comptroller. The taxpayer may rebut the presumption by presenting substantive evidence that demonstrates that notice of the tax liability was not received. If the taxpayer rebuts the presumption of receipt of proper notice with evidence the comptroller considers satisfactory, the period of limitations for filing suit provided by Subsection (e) does not apply.
