715.014. CEMETERY OPEN TO PUBLIC.
     A historic cemetery restored, operated, and maintained by a nonprofit corporation under this chapter must remain open to the public.

715.015. EXEMPTION.
     This chapter does not apply to:
          (1)  a perpetual care cemetery;  or
          (2)  a family cemetery.

(NOTE = perpetual care cemeteries and private cemeteries are not operated under the auspices of the Texas Historical Commission. If such a cemetery does operate under the THC's auspices, it no longer qualifies as a perpetual care cemetery or private cemetery. This is why Chapter 715 does not apply.)
