Governor Abbott Announces Support For Texas Landowners Against Illegal Federal Land Grab

8 years ago
Governor Greg Abbott announced his support of landowners and county officials in their lawsuit against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which has continued in its attempt to take control of privately owned land along the Texas-Oklahoma border. Last week, Governor Abbott met with the landowners during a visit to Wichita Falls.
“I applaud the private property owners and county officials for standing up against the federal government’s brazen attempt to take private property from Texans,” said Governor Abbott. “I wholeheartedly support the landowners in their litigation against the Bureau of Land Management, and will be filing an amicus brief in support of their lawsuit. I fully expect the Constitutionally protected rights of landowners along the Red River to be upheld.”
On October 16, Governor Abbott sent a letter to BLM Director Neil Kornze urging him to end his agency’s attempt to encroach on the property rights of Texans living on the Red River.
