Bill > HB3751

This bill mandates the transfer of a specific 3-acre parcel of real property from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) by November 30, 2025. The property is located at 715 Pine Street in Woodville, Tyler County, Texas, and currently includes a maintenance barn and offices. The bill specifies that the transfer must be completed through an appropriate legal instrument that precisely describes the property's boundaries. Notably, the bill exempts this transfer from certain standard transportation and natural resources code provisions that would typically govern such property transfers. The legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and was passed by the Texas House of Representatives with 144 votes in favor and 4 against, and by the Senate unanimously with 31 votes in favor. The bill appears to be a targeted, administrative action to reallocate a specific piece of government-owned real estate between two state agencies.
