TX Attorney General Opinion. Can an Eco Devo Corp get their property back? Or Does Sovereign Immunity Win?

What’s happening in Attorney General Opinion KP-210?

 

  • Marshall Economic Development Corporation conveyed property to Texas State Technical College
  • TSTC had to use the property for educational purposes under the terms
  • If TSTC fails, then the property goes back to Marshall Economic Development Corporation

The answer: this is not about soveriegn immunity. It’s about how the land was conveyed and that conveyence required certain conditions, that’s what prevails. So, yes the proeprty can revert to the EDC
