S.B. No. 1879 is a legislative bill that mandates the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to transfer a specific tract of land, approximately 14.999 acres located in Walker County, to Walker County itself. The bill stipulates that the property can only be utilized for the establishment of a justice center. Should Walker County fail to use the property for this designated purpose within ten years of the transfer or use it for any other purpose, ownership will revert back to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The transfer will be formalized through an appropriate instrument that outlines these conditions and describes the property in detail.

Additionally, the bill specifies that certain sections of the Natural Resources Code (Sections 31.158 and 31.159) will not apply to this property transfer. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
