HB 4103 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to operation and management of the Eyes of Father Margil State Historic Site and Trail by the Texas Historical Commission.

HB 4103 establishes a management framework for the Eyes of Father Margil State Historic Site and Trail in Nacogdoches, Texas. It allows the Texas Historical Commission to contract with the owning municipality to operate and administer the site, including provisions for expansion, preservation, visitor centers, and hiring staff. The bill creates a dedicated "Eyes of Father Margil Fund" funded by site admissions, gift shop sales, and donations, which can be used without legislative appropriation for site maintenance, repairs, or improvements. This bill directly affects the management and funding of this specific historic site and trail.
