Sec. 63.005. CONVERSION OF LIEN FROM A PERSONAL PROPERTY LIEN TO A REAL PROPERTY LIEN FOR THE DEBT FOR THE NEW IMPROVEMENTS THEREON. (a) A manufactured home becomes a new improvement to the homestead of a family or of a single adult person upon the filing of the appropriate statement of ownership as provided in Chapter 1201, Occupations Code. As such, if the debt for the manufactured home was contracted for in writing, that debt is considered to be for work and materials used in constructing new improvements thereon and thus constitutes a valid lien on the homestead when the appropriate statement of ownership is filed in the Official Public Records of Real Property in the county in which the land is located.
(b) When the manufactured home converts to real property as provided by Section 2.001 of this code, the lien on the property exists independently of any existing lien on the real property to which the home is permanently attached.
