Notice, though, that none of the land was in Texas! Here 99% of all Texas land is privately owned. Not even state owned. Not saying the gubmint can't change that....but so far it has not happened and chances are never will.

The Fed lands in this article are lands that are already owned by the feds (taxpayers) and has been designated as protected "park lands" to make them fall under the feds rules for parks. i.e.NO DRILLING!
