(b) Land qualifies for appraisal as provided by this subchapter if:
(1) timber was harvested from the land in a year in which the land was appraised under Subchapter E; and
(2) the land has been regenerated for timber production to the degree of intensity generally accepted in the area for commercial timber land and with intent to produce income.
(c) Land ceases to qualify for appraisal under Subsection (b) on the 10th anniversary of the date the timber was harvested under Subsection (b)(1).
