It has been discussed in the past - but no, TCMA has not "leased" any caves. But it seems like a good way to secure access to caves that people would like to visit. It is a shame that Beasley's Cave just sold. It might have been too large of a property. But a gyp cave would have made a nice

Midnight Cave is in the center of a large ranch. The new owners have no intention of splitting it out of the existing property. They are being wonderful stewards of the cave so it is not an issue for now. TCMA has an acquisition board that is actively looking for opportunities to buy
