(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.
