Relating to the lease of certain state property from the Department of State Health Services to Travis County.
SB 2719 authorizes the Texas Department of State Health Services to lease a specific 16.08-acre portion of the Austin State Hospital tract (described by metes and bounds) to Travis County. The lease is for a fixed 99-year term, requiring Travis County to use the property exclusively for public purposes, with automatic termination and reversion to the state if the property is not used for public purposes for over 180 consecutive days. Key provisions include mandatory public use, a long-term lease term, and specific requirements for the lease agreement instrument. This bill directly affects Travis County as the lessee and the state as the lessor, with no specified impact on individual residents or broader policy areas.
