Texas SB1713 expands the methods by which counties can dispose of surplus and salvage property.

Texas SB1713 amends the Local Government Code to allow county commissioners courts to dispose of surplus or salvage property in several ways. These include donating the property to a civic or charitable organization if certain conditions are met, such as the donation serving a public purpose and the organization providing consideration to the county. The bill also allows for the destruction of property deemed worthless, trading property for new property of the same type, and the transfer of gambling equipment to the Texas Facilities Commission for sale.
