H.B. No. 3751 mandates the transfer of specific real property from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) by November 30, 2025. The property in question includes the site of the TxDOT maintenance barn and offices located at 715 Pine Street, Woodville, Tyler County, Texas, encompassing approximately 3 acres. The transfer will be executed through an appropriate instrument that details the property by metes and bounds. Notably, the bill specifies that certain existing laws, including Chapter 202 of the Transportation Code and specific sections of the Natural Resources Code, will not apply to this transfer.
The bill outlines the necessary steps for the transfer and establishes a clear timeline for completion, with an effective date set for September 1, 2025. This legislative action aims to streamline the process of transferring property between state agencies, ensuring that the DPS can utilize the property for its operational needs.
