	Amend Floor Amendment No. 1 (floor substitute) by 
Representative Branch to CSSB 175, in SECTION 1 of the bill, 
amending Section 51.803, Education Code, as follows:
	(1)  In added Section 51.803(a-1), Education Code (page 3, on 
lines 6-13), strike "After the applicants qualified for automatic 
admission under Subsection (a) have been offered admission under 
this subsection in the number estimated in good faith as sufficient 
to fill 60 percent of the designated enrollment capacity described 
by this subsection, the institution shall consider any remaining 
applicants qualified for automatic admission under Subsection (a) 
in the same manner as other applicants for admission as first-time 
undergraduate students in accordance with Section 51.805." and 
substitute "After the applicants qualified for automatic admission 
under Subsection (a) have been offered admission under this 
subsection in the number estimated in good faith as sufficient to 
fill 60 percent of the designated enrollment capacity described by 
this subsection, the institution shall fill the remaining 
designated capacity described by this subsection as provided by 
Subsection (a-2).
	(2)  Immediately following added Section 51.803(a-1), 
Education Code (page 3, between lines 17 and 18), insert the 
following:
	(a-2)  An institution that offers admission under Subsection 
(a-1) shall apportion one-half of the remaining enrollment capacity 
described by Subsection (a-1) equally as nearly as possible among 
the districts used to elect the members of the house of 
representatives.  From the applicants for first-time resident 
undergraduate admission to the institution not offered admission 
under Subsection (a-1) who are otherwise eligible to be admitted to 
the institution, the institution shall identify those applicants 
who reside in each representative district and who graduated in the 
top 25 percent of the student's high school graduating class in one 
of the two school years preceding the academic year for which the 
applicant is applying for admission.  The institution shall offer 
admission to those applicants who reside in each representative 
district in the number required to fill the apportioned enrollment 
capacity for that district.  If the number of those applicants 
residing in a representative district exceeds the number estimated 
in good faith to fill the apportioned enrollment capacity for that 
district, the institution shall offer admission as the institution 
determines appropriate in accordance with Section 51.805 to those 
applicants in a number estimated in good faith as sufficient to fill 
the apportioned enrollment capacity.  If the number of those 
applicants residing in a representative district is less than the 
number estimated in good faith to fill the apportioned enrollment 
capacity for that district, the institution may fill that remaining 
enrollment capacity, and any other remaining portion of enrollment 
capacity not apportioned to representative districts under this 
subsection, in accordance with Section 51.805 by offering admission 
to any remaining qualified applicants without regard the 
representative district in which the applicants reside, including 
applicants who did not graduate in the top 25 percent of the 
student's high school graduating class.
	(3)  Redesignate added Section 51.803(a-2) (page 3, line 18) 
as Section 51.803(a-3) and correct any cross-references to the 
subsections of amended Section 51.803 accordingly.
