The feds owns some acreage in Texas but it has all been bought such as military bases,
etc or donated to the feds such as the Big Bend National Park.

The State of Texas delivered the deed to the Federal Government in September, 1943
and Big Bend National Park was officially established on June 12, 1944.

Texas never ceded any land to the Federal Gov’t when it became a state. All public land was retained by Texas.

Thanks for the report on Texas land situation and the feds. I also thought of the Indian Reservations in Texas. This may be a dumb question, but do the Indians actually own the land in their reservations or do the feds own them? The nearest one to me is out of Livingston, Texas.
