SB 103 prohibits certain foreign entities from purchasing or acquiring title to real property (land) in Texas. It specifically bans governments, companies, or individuals from China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia, including entities controlled by those countries' governments or citizens. The bill also prohibits Texas state agencies or local governments from entering contracts using public funds with these "adverse foreign entities." These restrictions apply to both property ownership and government contracts, with limited exceptions for U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. The law directly affects foreign entities tied to the listed countries and Texas public entities managing public funds.
