Senate Bill 725 authorizes the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation to transfer certain real property, including the improvements located on the property, to Texas Panhandle Mental Health and Mental Retardation (MHMR) not later than May 31, 2002.

The bill also stipulates that the state will retain all mineral rights for the land.
