after the order for relief to a membership association with respect to the debtor's interest in a dwelling unit
that has condominium ownership or in a share of a cooperative housing corporation, but only if such fee or
assessment is payable for a period during which - (A) the debtor physically occupied a dwelling unit in the
condominium or cooperative project; or (B) the debtor rented the dwelling unit to a tenant and received
payments from the tenant for such period, but nothing in this paragraph shall except from discharge the debt of a debtor for a

All debtors and their attorneys have questions about current laws.
Board certified consumer bankruptcy specialists in Texas refer to the
Code regularly, as well as review slip opinions of new case decisions as
they become available. The process is organic, in that the law,
benefits, rights and duties of debtors changes in response to the
current political environment, and in turn, require a constantly
changing approach in court to gain favor. Also be aware, each debtor and
their attorney are responsible for legal compliance with all Texas
bankruptcy laws regardless of actual knowledge of recent changes. For
this reason, debtors filing pro se seldom achieve the results as
favorable as debtors who are represented by a qualified consumer
specialists who is familiar with current changes and requirements.
