A blanket prohibition on nationals of Russia, China, Iran & North Korea - even those present in the U.S. lawfully - on purchase of real property in Texas. 👇

Sponsors of the bill were at least sensible enough to exclude dual nationals from the bill (e.g. an Iranian-American like myself), ostensibly giving it a better chance at surviving judicial challenge.

When will we learn that an individual ≠ the state?

I'll be following closely to see if it's passed and survives.
