SB 2863 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

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

SB 2863 transfers six specific parcels of state-owned land (totaling approximately 4.68 acres) from the Texas Department of Transportation to the University of Houston by December 31, 2025. The property, located along Houston's Buffalo Bayou near Milam Street and Interstate 10, must be used exclusively for public interest purposes benefiting Texas. If the university uses the land for non-public purposes, ownership automatically reverts to the Texas DOT. The bill specifies the exact legal descriptions of the parcels and requires the transfer to be documented in a deed with these usage conditions. This is a straightforward property transfer bill with no additional funding or policy changes.
