Texas to be known as the Texas Park Development Fund to be administered
(without further appropriation) by the said Parks and Wildlife Department, or
its said successor, in such manner as prescribed by law.
(c) Such fund shall be used by said Parks and Wildlife Department, or its said

(d) While any of the bonds, or any interest on any such bonds, is outstanding
and unpaid, there is hereby appropriated out of the first moneys coming into
the Treasury in each fiscal year, not otherwise appropriated by this
Constitution, an amount which is sufficient to pay the principal and interest on
such bonds that mature or become due during such fiscal year, less the
amount in the interest and sinking fund at the close of the prior fiscal year,
which includes any receipts derived during the prior fiscal year by said Parks
and Wildlife Department, or its said successor, from admission charges to

said successor, from the sale of the bonds issued hereunder, there shall be
deposited in the interest and sinking fund for the bonds authorized by this
section sufficient moneys to pay the interest to become due during the State
fiscal year in which the bonds were issued. After all bonds have been fully paid
with interest, or after there are on deposit in the interest and sinking fund
sufficient moneys to pay all future maturities of principal and interest,
additional moneys received from admission charges to State Parks shall be
deposited to the State Parks Fund, or any successor fund which may be
established by the Legislature as a depository for Park revenue earned by
said Parks and Wildlife Department, or its said successor.
(g) All bonds issued hereunder shall after approval by the Attorney General,
registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, and
delivery to the purchasers, be incontestable and shall constitute general
obligations of the State of Texas under the Constitution of Texas.
