Fifth Circuit Squashes Challenge to Texas Ban on Foreign Land Purchase

A federal appeals court upheld Texas's foreign land ownership ban by dismissing a challenge from a Chinese citizen, Peng Wang, on standing grounds.
Senate Bill 17 prohibits individuals from designated countries, including China and Russia, from acquiring Texas property.
The Fifth Circuit concluded that Wang, having lived in Texas for 16 years, is not domiciled in China and therefore not affected by the ban.
Another challenge to SB 17, Huang v. Paxton, has been filed, indicating that litigation over the law may continue.
