	SECTION ____.  Subchapter B, Chapter 21, Property Code, is 
amended by adding Section 21.024 to read as follows:
	Sec. 21.024.  PRODUCTION OF INFORMATION BY CERTAIN ENTITIES.  
(a)  Notwithstanding any other law, information collected, 
assembled, or maintained by an entity that is not a governmental 
body but is authorized by law to take private property through the 
use of eminent domain is required to produce information as 
provided by this section if the information is requested by a person 
who owns property that is the subject of a proposed or existing 
eminent domain proceeding, but only if the information is related 
to the taking of the person's private property by the entity through 
the use of eminent domain.
	(b)  An entity described by Subsection (a) is required under 
this section only to produce information relating to the 
condemnation of the specific property owned by the requestor as 
described in the request.  A request under this section must contain 
sufficient details to allow the entity to identify the specific 
tract of land in relation to which the information is sought.
	(c)  The entity shall respond to a request in accordance with 
the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure as if the request was made in a 
matter pending before a state district court.
	(d)  Exceptions to disclosure provided by this chapter and 
the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure apply to the disclosure of 
information under this section.
	(e)  Jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this section 
resides in:
		(1)  the court in which the condemnation was initiated; 
or           
		(2)  if the condemnation proceeding has not been 
initiated:          
			(A)  a court that would have jurisdiction over a 
proceeding to condemn the requestor's property; or
			(B)  a court in the county in which the entity has 
its principal place of business that has jurisdiction over 
condemnation proceedings under this chapter.
	(f)  If the entity refuses to produce information requested 
in accordance with this section and the court determines the 
refusal violates this section, the court may award the requestor's 
reasonable attorney's fees incurred to compel the production of the 
information.
	(g)  If an entity that received a request in accordance with 
this section does not produce the requested information on or 
before the 30th day after the request is made, the attorney general 
may file an action in a court described by Subsection (e) to enforce 
this section on the request of the person who made the request for 
the information.  If the court determines that the failure to 
produce the information is a violation of this section, the court 
may award the attorney general's reasonable expenses incurred to 
compel the production of the information.
	(h)  If the attorney general files an action under Subsection 
(g), the person who requested that the attorney general file the 
action may not file a private action to enforce this section with 
respect to the same request for information.
	(3)  On page 5 of the amendment, after line 5, insert the 
following:         
	SECTION ____.  Section 552.0037, Government Code, is 
repealed.               
	(4)  On page 5 of the amendment, after the material added by 
Item (3) of this amendment, insert the following appropriately 
numbered item:
	(  )  Strike page 28, line 23, through page 29, line 1, and 
substitute the following:
	SECTION 13.  (a) The change in law made by Section 21.021, 
Property Code, as added by this Act, and the repeal by this Act of 
Section 552.0037, Government Code, applies only to a request for 
disclosure made on or after the effective date of this Act.  A 
request for disclosure made before the effective date of this Act is 
governed by the law in effect immediately before the effective date 
of this Act, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
	(5)  Renumber existing items of the amendment appropriately.
