Relating to the purchase of or acquisition of title to real property by certain aliens or foreign entities.
HB 2752 would add Subchapter H to Texas Property Code, creating new restrictions on foreign individuals or entities from "designated countries" purchasing or acquiring title to Texas real property. A "designated country" is defined as one identified by U.S. intelligence as a national security risk, designated as a state sponsor of terrorism, or subject to U.S. sanctions related to arms transfers. The bill requires that transactions involving such foreign buyers comply with these new provisions, though it does not ban all foreign purchases. This policy change directly affects foreign buyers from the specified countries and modifies existing property rights language in the Texas Property Code. The bill is currently pending in committee and has not yet become law.
