Senate Bill 641 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to create a presumption that maps, property descriptions, and qualified surveys filed in the General Land Office in connection with a land grant by the state or any predecessor government accurately depict the boundary between adjacent upland property and state-owned submerged lands in the Gulf of Mexico unless it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that the boundary as described is erroneous.
