This section says that if a court orders notice by publication in a partition case and decides the property may be heirs property, the person suing must put up a clear sign on the property within 10 days and keep it there while the case is open. The sign must say the lawsuit started and give the court's name and address and the property's common name. The court can also require the sign to list the plaintiff and known defendants.
