commission in conducting the second phase of research on (1) the availability,
quality and prices of financial services, including lending and depository

state that provide financial services to agricultural businesses, small businesses,
and individual consumers in this state. This study is authorized and mandated
by the Finance Code, §11.305.
The finance commission has determined that because of the broad mandate
of the statute, the research should be conducted in phases. This portion of
the study will require in-depth field research, demographic data profiling
and statistical analysis. The purpose of this phase of the study is to analyze
the availability, quality and pricing of home equity loans and the business
practices of lenders that provide home equity loans in Texas.
Contact: Parties interested in submitting a proposal should obtain a complete
copy of the RFP from the web site of the Department of Banking at http://www.banking.state.tx.us/,
from the Electronic State Business Daily at http://www.marketplace.state.tx.us/1380

commission based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. A proposer
may be asked to clarify its proposal, and qualified proposers may be required
to make oral presentations to the finance commission in Austin on June 24
and June 25, 1999. The finance commission will select the proposal which best
meets the RFP criteria but could reject all proposals. If all other considerations
are equal, the finance commission will, pursuant to Government Code, §2254.027,
give preference to the proposer whose principal place of business is in the
State of Texas or who will manage the consulting contract wholly from an office
in the state.
The finance commission reserves the right to accept or reject any or all

be forfeited. Water Use Permit Number 5469 included authorization for the
construction of a reservoir on Leon Creek, tributary of the Medina River,

BUCKHORN GOLF II, LTD. has applied to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission (TNRCC) for a temporary water use permit to divert and use not
to exceed 160 acre-feet of water within a one-year period at a maximum rate
of 500 gallons per minute (1.1 cubic feet per second) from the Guadalupe River
in Kendall County, Texas. Water is requested to be diverted from a point within
a reach of the river between the IH-10 crossing near Comfort, Texas and a
point approximately one mile downstream from the crossing. This reach is approximately
14 miles northwest of Boerne, Texas and just southeast of Comfort, Texas.
The specific diversion point will be determined prior to use of water. This
water will supplement use by the applicant of effluent from Kendall County
Water Control and Improvement District Number One for irrigation of a proposed
golf course. In order to be consistent with conditions included in recently
granted water rights on the Guadalupe River, any granted temporary permit
will include a condition indicating that diversions of water during the months
of February through June would only be authorized when the flow of the Guadalupe
River at .S. Geological Survey Gaging Station Number 08167000 at Comfort,
Texas equals or exceeds 60 cubic feet per second and that diversions of water
during other months would only be authorized when the flow of the river at
the gage equals or exceeds 50 cubic feet per second. The permit will also
include a condition that the South Texas Watermaster be contacted prior to
diversion. All of the water right holders with diversion points on the Guadalupe
River between the IH-10 crossing in Comfort down to Canyon Reservoir will
receive copies of this notice. The temporary permit, if issued, would be junior
to all senior and superior water rights and subordinate to instream needs.
Written public comments and requests for a public meeting should be submitted
to the Office of Chief Clerk, at the address provided in the information section
below, by June 11, 1999. A public meeting is intended for the taking of public

public interest in the application.
The TNRCC may grant a contested case hearing on these applications if
a written hearing request is filed by June 11, 1999. The Commission may approve
the application unless a written request for a contested case hearing is filed.
To request a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1)
your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing
address, daytime phone number, and fax number, if any; (2) applicant's name
and permit number; (3) the statement "[I/we] request a contested case hearing;"
(4) a brief and specific description of how you would be affected by the application
in a way not common to the general public; and (5) the location and distance
of your property relative to the proposed activity. You may also submit your
proposed adjustments to the requested permit which would satisfy your concerns.
Requests for a contested case hearing must be submitted in writing to the
Office of the Chief Clerk at the address provided in the information section

If a hearing request is filed, the Commission will not issue the permit
and will forward the application and hearing request for their consideration
at a scheduled meeting.
