S.B. No. 3049 is a legislative bill that pertains to the release of a conservation easement on the Nueces County historic courthouse property. This easement was originally established in favor of the state as a condition for funding provided to Nueces County for a historic courthouse project, as mandated by the Texas Historical Commission under Section 442.0083 of the Government Code. The bill stipulates that the state will release this conservation easement and any associated covenants required by the commission.

The Texas Historical Commission is tasked with executing an instrument that reflects this release and must file it in the deed records of Nueces County within 60 days of the bill's effective date. The bill is designed to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from all elected members of both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
