Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D., reaffirmed her commitment to Texas Sovereignty amid SCOTUS's ruling allowing construction to resume in Big Bend.

Following the United States Supreme Court's decision allowing construction to resume in Texas' Big Bend region while litigation continues, she raised serious concerns over federal construction efforts impacting Texas lands.

“As Land Commissioner, I lead an agency whose history dates back to the Republic of Texas, with a responsibility to protect the lands entrusted to the people of this great state.

We can secure our border without harming the precious land we are entrusted to defend.

Texas Sovereignty is non-negotiable and the Texas General Land office will vigorously defend it." - Commissioner Buckingham

We've got a mascot so special, he has his own national holiday! Happy National Bison Day to Boone!

Bison have roamed Texas for thousands of years and they're actually known as America's largest land mammal.

Today, we celebrate the history and contributions of these majestic animals that have been a part of Texas history for generations.

Last month, the GLO worked with the Gulf of America Alliance to remove the ACTA, a large recreational vessel off the coast in Galveston that had been abandoned since Hurricane Beryl in 2024.

The operation was a huge success, and the ship was safely removed from the area. Thank you again to all of our partners who made this removal possible.

The GLO will continue working to protect and preserve our Texas coastal communities!
