Relating to the exercise of eminent domain authority by the Texas Facilities Commission to build a wall along this state's international border.

SB 316 authorizes the Texas Facilities Commission to use eminent domain to acquire property along Texas' international border for constructing a border wall. It directly affects landowners near the border by enabling the state to take their property for this purpose. The bill specifies the wall must prevent human trafficking, illegal entry by aliens without federal approval, terrorists, and contraband like narcotics. It requires the Commission to adopt a resolution declaring the acquisition a public necessity before proceeding, effective September 1, 2025.
