Texas SB1271 allows the state to accept concurrent jurisdiction with the U.S. over military installations.

SB1271 amends the Texas Government Code to allow the governor to accept concurrent jurisdiction with the U.S. over land owned or acquired by the U.S. for military purposes. The governor can accept full or partial jurisdiction, including land where no federal jurisdiction exists or where Texas previously ceded jurisdiction. The establishment of concurrent jurisdiction requires a written application from an authorized U.S. representative, specifying the subject matter and land details. The governor's acceptance must be written and filed with the secretary of state.
