A cease-and-desist order has been issued by Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham. This action is in response to work being done near Big Bend for a border wall. The issue at hand is that a contractor cleared state-owned land without proper permission.

The land in question is over a mile long. Further details on this situation can be found through local news sources, such as FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth, for those looking for more information on the cease-and-desist order and the border wall construction near Big Bend.
