	(b)  Except for donations described by Subsections (a)(1) 
through (5), the Anatomical Board of the State of Texas shall be the 
donee of gifts of bodies or parts of bodies made for the purpose of 
education or research that are subject to distribution by the board 
under Chapter 691.
	(c)  A forensic science program that receives a donation 
under Subsection (a)(5) must submit a report to the Anatomical 
Board of the State of Texas on a quarterly basis that lists:
		(1)  the number of bodies or parts of bodies that the 
program received; and
		(2)  the method in which the program used the bodies or 
parts of bodies for education or research.
	(d)  If an anatomical gift to an individual under Subsection 
(a)(3) cannot be transplanted into the individual, the part passes 
in accordance with Subsection (i) in the absence of an express, 
contrary indication by the person making the anatomical gift.
	(e)  If an anatomical gift of one or more specific parts or of 
all parts is made in a document of gift that does not name a person 
described in Subsection (a) but identifies the purpose for which an 
anatomical gift may be used, the following rules apply:
		(1)  if the part is an eye and the gift is for the 
purpose of transplantation or therapy, the gift passes to the 
appropriate eye bank;
		(2)  if the part is tissue and the gift is for the 
purpose of transplantation or therapy, the gift passes to the 
appropriate tissue bank;
		(3)  if the part is an organ and the gift is for the 
purpose of transplantation or therapy, the gift passes to the 
appropriate organ procurement organization as custodian of the 
organ; and
		(4)  if the part is an organ, an eye, or tissue and the 
gift is for the purpose of research or education, the gift passes to 
the appropriate procurement organization.
	(f)  For the purpose of Subsection (e), if there is more than 
one purpose of an anatomical gift set forth in the document of gift 
but the purposes are not set forth in any priority, the gift must be 
used for transplantation or therapy, if suitable. If the gift 
cannot be used for transplantation or therapy, the gift may be used 
for research or education.
	(g)  If an anatomical gift of one or more specific parts is 
made in a document of gift that does not name a person described in 
Subsection (a) and does not identify the purpose of the gift, the 
gift may be used only for transplantation or therapy, and the gift 
passes in accordance with Subsection (i).
	(h)  If a document of gift specifies only a general intent to 
make an anatomical gift by words such as "donor," "organ donor," or 
"body donor," or by a symbol or statement of similar import, the 
gift may be used only for transplantation or therapy, and the gift 
passes in accordance with Subsection (i).
	(i)  For purposes of Subsections (d), (g), and (h), the 
following rules apply:
		(1)  if the part is an eye, the gift passes to the 
appropriate eye bank;
		(2)  if the part is tissue, the gift passes to the 
appropriate tissue bank; and
		(3)  if the part is an organ, the gift passes to the 
appropriate organ procurement organization as custodian of the 
organ.
	(j)  An anatomical gift of an organ for transplantation or 
therapy, other than an anatomical gift under Subsection (a)(3), 
passes to the organ procurement organization as custodian of the 
organ.
	(k)  If an anatomical gift does not pass pursuant to 
Subsections (a) through (j) or the decedent's body or part is not 
used for transplantation, therapy, research, or education, custody 
of the body or part passes to the person under obligation to dispose 
of the body or part.
	(l)  A person may not accept an anatomical gift if the person 
knows that the gift was not effectively made under Section 692A.005 
or Section 692A.010 or if the person knows that the decedent made a 
refusal under Section 692A.007 that was not revoked.  For purposes 
of this subsection, if a person knows that an anatomical gift was 
made on a document of gift, the person is deemed to know of any 
amendment or revocation of the gift or any refusal to make an 
anatomical gift on the same document of gift.
	(m)  Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (a)(3), 
nothing in this chapter affects the allocation of organs for 
transplantation or therapy.
	(n)  A donee may accept or reject a gift.
