HB 5264 establishes the Historic Texas Cemeteries Designation Program to identify and recognize cemeteries with historical significance, requiring that they be at least 50 years old unless deemed exceptionally significant. The program involves an application process with notices to property owners and adjacent landowners and offers an optional Texas Historical Marker for certified cemeteries. A small application fee is authorized, and the designation does not restrict property use outside the cemetery’s boundaries​.
