BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Under current Texas law, the State Cemetery (cemetery) has 50 acres of
dedicated property. However, the actual survey of the cemetery property is
44.07 acres. A majority of the 44.07 acres is in the flood plain and not
suitable for cemetery purposes. S.B. 1546 corrects the legal description of
the cemetery.
