Sec. 52.0041. ADDRESS REQUIREMENT FOR RECORDING ABSTRACT. (a) A judgment abstracted after September 1, 1993, may not be recorded unless:

(2) a penalty filing fee equal to the greater of $25 or twice the statutory recording fee for the abstract is paid.
(b) The validity of an abstracted judgment as between the parties is not affected by a failure to include an address for each plaintiff or judgment creditor in the abstracted judgment.
(c) Payment of a filing fee and acceptance of the abstract of judgment by a county clerk for recording creates a conclusive presumption that the requirements of this section have been met.
