Texas lawmakers study annexation of three oil-rich New Mexico counties
source: Texas House speaker -> target: New Mexico counties Eddy, Lea and Roosevelt
On 2026-04-15, the Texas House speaker directed a state legislative committee to study the feasibility of annexing Eddy, Lea and Roosevelt counties in southeastern New Mexico. The move followed a now-defunct New Mexico resolution about allowing some counties to petition to join Texas, and was framed as a policy study rather than an immediate annexation action.
