            House Bill 1011 amends the Health and Safety Code to authorize, rather than require, a district court, upon a petition by the property owner, to order the removal of a dedication of an abandoned or previously unknown cemetery.  The bill also requires that the Texas Historical Commission and the local county historical commission be notified of such a petition and authorizes them to intervene and become parties to the suit.
