Relating to the transfer of certain state property from the Texas Department of Transportation to the University of Houston.

HB 5290 requires the Texas Department of Transportation to transfer six specific parcels of state-owned land in Houston (totaling about 4.7 acres near downtown) to the University of Houston by December 31, 2025. The university must use the property solely for purposes benefiting the public interest of Texas, and ownership automatically reverts to the DOT if it’s used for any other purpose. The bill specifies the exact legal descriptions of each parcel, including locations along Milam Street and Interstate 10. This transfer is a direct property conveyance with no financial obligation to the university, focusing solely on land ownership change under defined public-use conditions.
