I agree. In light of this prior criminal activity, is it legally possible for a state, such as Texas, to prevent cults or other undesirables from buying property within said state?
No. It would be "unAmerican" (you'd have to deny the Mormons, the JWs, Scientologists, Moonies from owning property...If you did that, we wouldn't exactly be the "land of liberty," now would we?)
