House Bill 1628 authorizes the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation to convey the land, buildings, and improvements of the former Beaumont State Center to Spindletop MHMR Services in Jefferson County in consideration for Spindletop's continued use of the property to provide community-based mental health or mental retardation services. Ownership of the property would revert to the state if Spindletop fails to provide the mental health services for more than 180 continuous days. The bill provides that the transfer is exempt from certain state laws governing the management, lease, and disposal of state-owned real property.
