The bill, H.B. No. 2935, proposes the establishment of the Julia C. Hester House State Park in Houston, Texas, by adding a new subchapter to Chapter 22 of the Parks and Wildlife Code. This new subchapter, designated as Subchapter U, formally establishes the park under the jurisdiction of the Parks and Wildlife Department. The park will consist of undeveloped land associated with the Julia C. Hester House settlement house and community center.

Additionally, the bill grants the Parks and Wildlife Department the authority to acquire the necessary land for the park through various means, including purchase, gift, lease, or condemnation. The provisions of Subchapter U will take effect once the department has successfully acquired all the specified land, while the overall act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, unless the earlier condition is met.
