Relating to a study and report by the General Land Office on private landowner participation in border security.

HB 1836 requires the Texas General Land Office to study ways to encourage private landowners near the Texas-Mexico border to cooperate with border security efforts. The study will examine potential incentives like financial payments, tax breaks, infrastructure improvements, or utility installations to help landowners allow state entities temporary access to their property or modifications for border security. The General Land Office must survey at least 10 landowners in each border county (excluding Jeff Davis) whose property is adjacent to or closest to the border, and collaborate with state agencies like DPS and the comptroller. A report on the study's findings must be submitted to the legislature by December 1, 2026.
