Notice of Update to the Landowner's Bill of Rights

(Editor's note: In accordance with Texas Government Code, §2002.014, which permits the omission of material which is "cumbersome, expensive, or otherwise inexpedient," the Landowner's Bill of Rights is not included in the print version of the Texas Register. The figure is available in the on-line version of the October 10, 2025, issue of the Texas Register.)

The Office of the Attorney General of Texas intends to revise the Landowner's Bill of Rights, found on the Office's website, and is publishing the proposed changes in the Texas Register for 30 days so that the Office may accept public comment regarding the proposed statement.

Pursuant to section 402.031 of the Texas Government Code, the Attorney General is required to maintain on its website a written statement of the rights of property owners whose real property may be acquired through an entity's use of eminent domain authority. The Office of the Attorney General intends to revise and update the Landowner's Bill of Rights as indicated herein and will accept public comment on the proposed changes.

House Bill 2011 was passed by the 89th Legislature on June 1, 2025, and signed by Governor Greg Abbott on June 20, 2025. H.B. 2011, which became effective on September 1, 2025, amended several sections of chapter 21, subchapter E of the Texas Property Code. The bill allows individuals to repurchase their property that had been acquired through eminent domain if the acquiring entity is obligated to pay property taxes for the acquired property and has received a tax bill for the property but has failed to pay any property taxes within three years upon which the unpaid taxes become due. H.B. 2011 also adds requirements relating to notice to and by individuals eligible to repurchase the acquired property and allows the former landowner to inquire about, and obtain information regarding, property taxes on the acquired property.

The proposed update explains the repurchase opportunity established by H.B. 2011. In doing so, the proposed update incorporates language mirroring existing repurchase opportunities. Other non-substantive changes include a revision to the date of the document and a translation of the addenda accompanying the Spanish version of the Landowner's Bill of Rights.

Written comments regarding changes to the Landowner's Bill of Rights may be directed to: Wesley S. Williams, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General, P.O. Box 12548, MC-066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, faxed to his attention at (512) 320-0911, or emailed to wesley.williams@oag.texas.gov. Written comments must be received within 30 days of publication of this notice to be considered.

Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group

Introduction

The commissioner of workers' compensation considers the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Research Agenda for the Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group (REG) at the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC).

Texas Labor Code §405.0026 requires the REG to prepare a research agenda each year for the commissioner to review, approve, and publish in the Texas Register.

Labor Code §405.0025 requires the REG to conduct professional studies and research related to how effectively the workers' compensation system operates.

DWC published the proposed research agenda in the August 15, 2025, issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 5377) and sought public review and comment. DWC received four comments and no requests for a public hearing.

Order

It is ordered that the FY 2026 Research Agenda for the Workers' Compensation Research and Evaluation Group is adopted as follows:

1. Completion and publication of the 18th Edition of the Workers' Compensation Health Care Network Report Card (required under Insurance Code §1305.502(a)(d) and Labor Code §405.0025(b)).

2. An update of medical costs and utilization in the Texas workers' compensation system.

3. An update of return-to-work outcomes for injured employees, including an examination of Texas injured employees' initial and sustained return-to-work rates and wage-recovery rates.

The REG will consider expanding the scope of the research projects or conducting more projects to accommodate stakeholder suggestions, subject to the resources and data available.

2.3 Procedure for Claiming Prizes.

A. To claim a "GOLDEN RICHES" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $50.00, $100, $150, $250, $400 or $500, a claimant shall sign the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated on the Scratch Ticket and may present the winning Scratch Ticket to any Texas Lottery Retailer. The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, if appropriate, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the Scratch Ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not required, to pay a $50.00, $100, $150, $250, $400 or $500 Scratch Ticket Game. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and Section 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. To claim a "GOLDEN RICHES" Scratch Ticket Game prize of $2,000, $10,000 or $2,000,000, the claimant must sign the winning Scratch Ticket and may present it at one of the Texas Lottery's Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will be made to the bearer of the validated winning Scratch Ticket for that prize upon presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

C. As an alternative method of claiming a "GOLDEN RICHES" Scratch Ticket Game prize, the claimant may submit the signed winning Scratch Ticket and a thoroughly completed claim form via mail. If a prize value is $1,000,000 or more, the claimant must also provide proof of Social Security number or Tax Payer Identification (for U.S. Citizens or Resident Aliens). Mail all to: Texas Lottery, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The Texas Lottery is not responsible for Scratch Tickets lost in the mail. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct the amount of a delinquent tax or other money from the winnings of a prize winner who has been finally determined to be:

1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money to a state agency and that delinquency is reported to the Comptroller under Government Code §403.055;

2. in default on a loan made under Chapter 52, Education Code;

3. in default on a loan guaranteed under Chapter 57, Education Code; or

4. delinquent in child support payments in the amount determined by a court or a Title IV-D agency under Chapter 231, Family Code.

E. If a person is indebted or owes delinquent taxes to the State, other than those specified in the preceding paragraph, the winnings of a person shall be withheld until the debt or taxes are paid.

2.4 Allowance for Delay of Payment. The Texas Lottery may delay payment of the prize pending a final determination by the Executive Director, under any of the following circumstances:

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the Scratch Ticket presented for payment; or

D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending payment of the claim.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize under $600 from the "GOLDEN RICHES" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of $600 or more from the "GOLDEN RICHES" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Scratch Ticket Claim Period. All Scratch Ticket prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Scratch Ticket Game or within the applicable time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas Government Code §466.408. Any rights to a prize that is not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each Scratch Ticket, shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of Scratch Tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of Scratch Tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales and number of prizes claimed. A Scratch Ticket Game may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.

3.0 Scratch Ticket Ownership.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of a Scratch Ticket in the space designated, a Scratch Ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said Scratch Ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the Scratch Ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.
