to state employees with disabilities. See §111.37 of this title
(relating to Carpools, ADA, and Fleet Parking). A state employee will

Such employees shall be those working for agencies who occupy space
in state buildings, located within the area specified in subsection
(f) of this section.
(h) To implement the requirements of this section,
the parking administration shall not be required to assign all of
the spaces available. The parking administration by discretion may
make use of any unassigned spaces designated under this section, so
long as that use is in accordance with Texas Government Code, §§411.061
- 411.067, and these sections.
