1-25 Sec. 263.055. CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY FROM COUNTY TO TEXAS
1-26 A&I UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION, INC. (a) A county may convey surplus
1-27 personal or real property of the county at a private sale to Texas
1-28 A&I University Foundation, Inc., for any fair consideration
1-29 approved by the commissioners court of the county.
1-30 (b) Property conveyed under this section must be used for

1-32 If at any time after the date a conveyance of real property is
1-33 executed under this section the real property is used for a purpose
1-34 other than a higher education purpose, ownership of the property
1-35 reverts to the county that conveyed the property.
1-36 (c) For a conveyance under this section to be effective, the
1-37 commissioners court must authorize the conveyance by an order
1-38 entered in its minutes. The order must:
1-39 (1) describe the property to be conveyed;
1-40 (2) state the consideration to be paid; and
1-41 (3) direct the county judge of the county to execute
1-42 in the name of the county a conveyance to Texas A&I University

1-44 the consideration to the appropriate officer of the county.
1-45 (d) An instrument of conveyance executed by the county judge
1-46 must be in the form and contain the covenants and warranties
1-47 prescribed by the commissioners court.
1-48 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-49 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-50 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-51 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-52 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-53 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-54 passage, and it is so enacted.
