Relating to the creation of the Julia C. Hester House State Park.

HB 2935 creates Julia C. Hester House State Park in Houston, directly affecting the Julia C. Hester House settlement house and community center. The bill establishes the park under the Parks and Wildlife Department’s jurisdiction and specifies it consists of the undeveloped land surrounding the existing community center. It authorizes the department to acquire this land through purchase, gift, lease, or condemnation. The park officially takes effect once all required land is acquired, with the law becoming effective September 1, 2025. This is a procedural bill naming a specific park, not a policy change with broader implications.
