Senate Bill 640 amends provisions of the Natural Resources Code relating to the Coastal Public Lands Management Act. The bill requires notice to the State of Texas of a claim by an owner of a property abutting coastal public land against the School Land Board in the same manner as is provided in the Texas Tort Claims Act. The bill specifies what the notice must reasonably describe and the deadline for receiving it and provides that it is a jurisdictional prerequisite to filing a lawsuit.
