RE: Request for Relief from Weed Lien Charges
Attached is a request for relief from the accrued interest from two (2) old weed lien charges with
regard to property located at 1183 Laurel St., Beaumont, Texas. The current property owner of
record is Say Thi Gilfillian (married last name is Warren). The liens were in the name of Van
Bay Nguyen, et ux and were filed in the County records in 1988 and 1989.
I originally received a payoff request from Capital Title on February 14, 2024. I provided them
with a payoff for the two (2) liens which at that time totaled $1,666.19, and then I sent them an
updated payoff in the amount of$1,668.11 at their request which was good through March 20,
2024 (attached). This included interest and filing fee charges. On March 13 we were contacted
by the current owner of record, Say Warren, asking if there was a way to get relief from the
interest charges since the liens were so old, and she never knew anything about the liens or she
would have paid for them long ago before all the interest had accrued. Mrs. Warrant was
provided with the procedure to request relief, and we received her request letter Friday, March
15 (attatched). If you have any questions,please let me know.
Thank you.

RE:Interest forgiveness to 1183 Laurel St., Beaumont,TX 77701
Dear Ms.Cheryl Ray,
First,CONGRATULATION in your new position.
I will get to the point as to why I am writing to you.
I have recently been made aware of a lien against my lot that I have owned since December 1998. I
have maintained the grass cutting and pay property tax to it and have been doing so for 26 years
now. It became more of a burden than a blessing to me, but I paid the taxes and did maintenance
on a regular basis.
After 26 yrs., I have recently put this lot on the market and have an interested buyer.We went
through the process of transfer only to be alerted by Capital Title Company,that there is a lien and
1/2 alley abandonment(2/22/24). We settled the'/2 alley abandonment, but there's this lien I need to
clear up. I previously did not know that there's a lien on it or why.After the directions of the reactor,
the title company,sister-in-law who works for the city, and the Internet,my journey led me to Ms.
Lynn Foote(Code Enforcement Supervisor). Ms. Foote is patient and answered my many
questions, even the ones I did NOT want to hear. For example,the lien was placed so long ago that
the city does not keep archived photos to the tot so that I could confirmed it mine and not my
neighbors on either side of me or the city does not send notification that there is a balance owed to
the next owner. Ms. Foote did advise me and gave me an option.This leads me to you.
Ms. Ray, I am writing to ask you to waive or reduce the interest charges accrued on this lien.The
original amounts are two$185.00(Total$370)and total interest since July 27, 1988,and January 20,
1989, is$1480.11.I have attached supporting documents for your convenience, but I am sure you
could also confirm it with your sources. I am not trying to escape my responsibilities,but had I
known back then,I would have immediately taken care of this lien or had I been notified at any point
in time, I would have taken the initiative to lessen my burden.

I have not done anything with this lot except to religiously pay tax and maintenance and have no
plans to develop on this lot, please help me so I could transfer it to another individual who will.
c-rcly,
