Relating to the transfer of certain state property from the Health and Human Services Commission to the Bexar County Board of Trustees for Mental Health Mental Retardation Services d/b/a The Center for Health Care Services.
HB 5472 transfers specific state-owned property (including buildings but excluding mineral rights) from Texas' Health and Human Services Commission to Bexar County's mental health provider, The Center for Health Care Services. The bill requires The Center to use the property exclusively for community-based mental health services, submit quarterly reports to the Commission about its use, and maintain the property for this public purpose. If The Center fails to comply for over 365 days, ownership automatically reverts to the state. The transfer occurs via a deed without title warranties but includes enforceable terms requiring continued public service use and reporting. This bill directly affects Bexar County's mental health services operations and state property management.
