ter 129, page 219, Acts, Fifty-sixth Legislature, 1959, Regular Session
(Article 2606c, Vernon's Civil Statutes of Texas), to "The University of

available for the use and benefit of the institution whose name is changed;
ratifying, confirming, and validating all contracts, bonds, notes, or other
debentures heretofore or hereafter issued on behalf of The South Texas

(Article 2606c, Vernon's Civil Statutes of Texas), is hereby changed to

ble and relate to "The University of Texas South Texas Medical School."
