Sec. 451.151.  STATION OR TERMINAL COMPLEX:  SYSTEM PLAN.  (a)  An authority may not acquire an interest in real property for a station or terminal complex unless the station or terminal complex is included in the transit authority system in a comprehensive transit plan approved by a resolution of the board.  A mass transit facility of an authority is not a station or terminal complex under this subchapter unless the facility is included in the authority's comprehensive transit plan under this section.
(b)  A station or terminal complex may not be included in a transit authority system unless the board first finds that the station or complex:
(1)  will encourage and provide for efficient and economical mass transit;
(2)  will facilitate access to mass transit and provide for other mass transit purposes;
(3)  will reduce vehicular congestion and air pollution in the metropolitan area;  and
(4)  is reasonably essential to the successful operation of the transit authority system.
(c)  On making a finding under Subsection (b), the board may amend the authority's comprehensive transit plan to include a station or terminal complex.
