    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  SALE AND CONVEYANCE OF REAL PROPERTY.  The Texas
    1-6  General Land Office is authorized and directed to sell and convey
    1-7  the state's interest in two certain tracts of real property in
    1-8  Bexar County, now held in the name of the Texas General Services
    1-9  Commission.
   1-10        SECTION 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.  The real property that
   1-11  the Texas General Land Office may sell and convey by authority of
   1-12  Section 1 is more particularly described as follows:  Tract One:
   1-13  Lot 10, Block 2, New City Block 589, City of San Antonio, Bexar
   1-14  County, Texas; and Tract Two: the North 45 feet of the South 95
   1-15  feet of Lots 11 and 12, Block 2, New City Block 589, City of San
   1-16  Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.
   1-17        SECTION 3.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE.  The Texas General
   1-18  Land Office shall sell and convey the real property described in
   1-19  Section 2 of this Act under the terms and provisions of Section
   1-20  31.158, Natural Resources Code.  The real property may be sold in
   1-21  whole or in part.  The owners of land with a common boundary to
   1-22  either or both of the two tracts which are the subject of this Act
   1-23  have, with respect to the tract or tracts to which their property
    2-1  adjoins, a preference right to purchase the tract before that tract
    2-2  is made available for sale to any other person, provided that the
    2-3  person with the preference right pays not less than the market
    2-4  value for the tract as determined by an appraiser employed by the
    2-5  Texas General Land Office.
    2-6        SECTION 4.  EMERGENCY.  The importance of this legislation
    2-7  and the crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-8  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-9  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   2-10  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
