Relating to the transfer of the University of Houston--Victoria to The Texas A&M University System.
HB 5150 transfers governance of the University of Houston-Victoria (UHV) to the Texas A&M University System. It amends the Education Code to establish "Texas A&M University-Victoria" as a component institution under the Texas A&M Board of Regents, transferring all property, facilities, and control from the University of Houston System. Existing rules, contracts, and bonds for UHV remain valid under the new governance, with Texas A&M regents assuming authority over operations and academic programs. The bill directly affects UHV’s administration, faculty, students, and campus assets by changing its governing body.
