H.B. No. 897 is a legislative proposal that authorizes the sale of specific real property located in Austin, Texas, by the State of Texas. The bill mandates that the General Land Office must offer the property for sale as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date. The sale will be conducted in accordance with Section 31.158 of the Natural Resources Code, and the proceeds from the sale will be deposited into the general revenue fund. Notably, the sale of the property at 4400 Shoal Creek Boulevard is contingent upon the construction and occupation of a new state records facility to replace the existing facility operated by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.

The bill identifies two parcels of land for sale: one consisting of approximately 20.3127 acres at 4400 Shoal Creek Boulevard and another comprising 7.5 acres of a larger 66-acre tract at 909 W. 45th Street, both located in Travis County. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
