Creates a national recreation area in the Texas coastal region for conservation and public use.
The problem
Texas coastal lands lack formal federal protection and coordinated management to balance conservation with public recreation and access.
The proposal
Establishes the Lone Star Coastal National Recreation Area to protect and manage designated coastal lands in Texas under federal oversight.
The impact
Texas coastal residents, tourists, conservation groups, and landowners gain new recreation access while facing potential land-use restrictions and management changes.
Creates new public spaces for fishing, boating, hiking, and camping. Attracts tourists to the area, supporting local businesses like hotels and restaurants.
Preserves coastal ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and natural features. Protects sensitive wetlands and marine areas from development and degradation.
Guarantees Americans can use and enjoy coastal lands. Prevents private development from blocking public access to beaches and waterways.
Federal management brings infrastructure improvements and visitor spending. Small towns near the recreation area benefit from increased commerce.
Landowners may face restrictions on how they use their property. Property values could change due to new regulations and limitations on development.
Local communities lose some control over land management decisions. Federal rules may not match local preferences or economic needs.
Federal management requires government funding and creates administrative overhead. Local taxpayers may see costs without direct local control.
Oil, gas, or mineral extraction may be prohibited or limited. Agricultural uses could face new regulations affecting rural livelihoods.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
