This trend has raised concerns among lawmakers, agricultural organizations, and local communities, as many are concerned about the potential impact that foreign ownership could have on food security, economic stability, and national security.

House Bill 191 (2025) seeks to prevent certain foreign entities from purchasing real property here in Texas.
