I believe I seen something a couple days ago that they are looking into this option. However, I would assume that the Federal government lays claim to at least some pieces of land on the border that isn't privately owned, but I am not sure.
Borders are federal jurisdiction. A lot of it is also straight up federal land. There's a video I watched of a guy who lived right at the border and the federal fencing fell apart after illegals kept breaking it down and he just left it alone. They kept stealing his money, food, horses, and killed his animals, but he was like, "whatever". Too many cucks near the border.
The federal government owns a lot of the land in the country. Not only that, but national borders are the sole jurisdiction of the federal government. Texas would need to call their wall something else. Like a retaining wall or something. If they called it a border wall, they'd see the feds come down and say 'you can't do that because you're not in charge of national security/border protection. We are.'
It won't really matter though. Because the feds will sue them regardless. But they can, in theory put up a wall. Now, from what I understand, the piece of wall that needs to be put in that will close the gap is about a mile long and it sits on private property. A rancher's land. If the owner of the land wants to build a wall or sell that small strip of land to Texas, I don't see why he can't and they can do as they see fit.
"ROW"...... Right of way.... which I would assume (dangerous word) the Trump admin/Corp of Engineers had acquired to accommodate the wall. For Texas to do its own thing, it would likely mean acquiring the ROW from the Feds - not very likely given current "leadership".
im pretty sure they just announced they will be finishing the wall

There is a petition to Governor Abbott to finish the wall.
