A bill that sparked outrage by trying to ban Chinese citizens from buying property in Texas is not moving forward in the state's House.

A watered-down version of the bill passed the Senate last month and moved on to the Texas House of Representatives, where it fizzled out this weekend. House Speaker Dade Phelan opted not to hold a weekend hearing, rendering SB 147 and several other Senate proposals dead on arrival.

“The growing ownership of Texas land by some foreign entities is highly disturbing and raises red flags for many Texans,” Kolkhorst said. “By comparison, as an American, go try to buy land near a Chinese military base and see how it works out for you.”
