SpaceX Discusses 1,200-Acre Land Purchase Proposal Near Boca Chica Beach

SpaceX said Nov. 13 it had discussed buying about 1,200 acres near its launch facility by Boca Chica Beach, with roughly half the land proposed for protection under a permanent conservation easement.

The land is managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. About 600 acres would be covered by the easement if the proposal proceeds.

The discussions concern a potential purchase, not a completed transfer. Separately, Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa asked the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to pause action on a possible SpaceX land purchase until she takes office.
