I agree that the OP article isn’t great - deep in the article it seems to say it’s legal but doesn’t explain why, even though the article goes into detail on less important matters.
Regardless, the government says there was never a “deed restriction” but they say there was something else which I don’t understand:
> In the notes about the grantee, the cash warranty deed states that the property was to be held in trust for future use as parkland by Williamson County, Texas. This was not a deed restriction.
