(b)
The notice must be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to:
the lot owner’s last known mailing address, as reflected in the records of the property owners’ association;
the address of each holder of a lien on the property subject to foreclosure evidenced by the most recent deed of trust filed of record in the real property records of the county in which the property is located; and
the address of each transferee or assignee of a deed of trust described by Subdivision
who has provided notice to a property owners’ association of such assignment or transfer. Notice provided by a transferee or assignee to a property owners’ association shall be in writing, shall contain the mailing address of the transferee or assignee, and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or United States mail with signature confirmation to the property owners’ association according to the mailing address of the property owners’ association pursuant to the most recent management certificate filed of record pursuant to Section 209.004 (Management Certificates) .
(b-1)
If a recorded instrument does not include an address for the lienholder, the association does not have a duty to notify the lienholder as provided by this section.

(c)
Not later than the 30th day after the date the association sends the notice required by Subsection (a), the association must record an affidavit in the real property records of the county in which the lot is located, stating the date on which the notice was sent and containing a legal description of the lot. Any person is entitled to rely conclusively on the information contained in the recorded affidavit.

Blank Outline Levels
×
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example,
,
,
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
Trust but verify.
