Acting Executive Director
Texas State Hospitals and Re: Whether or not, under Arti-

Austin, Texas non's Civil Statutes, the
Board for Texas State Hos-
pitals and Special Schools

transfer property from one
Dear Mr. Vowell: institution to another.
You have submitted for our opinion the following ques-
tions which we quote from your letter of September 24, 1957:
"(1) May this Board sell surplus property
or supplies of institutions? (This type of pro-
perty consists of obsolete, excess, or junk items
which are not needed or desired by other institu-
tions.)
"(2) May this Board transfer, with or with-
out reimbursement, surplus property or supplies
from one institution to another, under its juris-
diction?"
We have assumed in answering your request that your first
question inquires whether the Board for Texas State Hospitals and
Special Schools may dispose of obsolete and junk items to the
public by advertisement and bids, as opposed to a transfer of the
goods to another State agency.
We have been referred to the provisions of Article
3174 , Section 2, Vernon's Civil Statutes, which grants to the
Board for Texas State Hospitals and Special Schools the follow-
ing powers:
".' . Effective September 1, 1949, the con-
trol and management of, and all rights, privileges,
powers, and duties incident thereto including
building, design and construction of the Texas State
Hospitals and Special Schools which are now vested
