Sec. 8503.020. DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY. (a) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as authorizing the authority, and the authority is not authorized, to mortgage or otherwise encumber any of its property of any kind, real, personal, or mixed, or any interest in such property, or to acquire any property or interest subject to a mortgage or conditional sale, provided that this section may not be construed as preventing the pledging of the revenues of the authority as authorized by this chapter.

Except by sale as expressly authorized in this section, authority property or interest may not come into the ownership or control, directly or indirectly, of any person, firm, or corporation other than a public authority created under the laws of this state or a nonprofit corporation created by the authority under Chapter 152 , Water Code.
