Relating to the acquisition of land and facilities by the Texas State Technical College System.

SB 1242 amends Texas Education Code Section 135.02(c) to allow the Texas State Technical College System to acquire land and facilities in counties where it has campuses. The bill requires the coordinating board to review and approve acquisitions only if the property value exceeds $300,000 or if the board of regents requests adding it to the system's inventory. This change streamlines the process for the college system to obtain property while adding a threshold for larger acquisitions. The law took effect immediately upon the governor’s signature on June 20, 2025. It directly affects the college system’s property management operations, not students or general public policy.
