Overview

• Texas has completed only 65 of 805 planned wall miles and will finish in-progress segments but start no new construction
• Funding was quietly halted at the end of the legislative session, ending state spending on additional wall projects
• None of the approved $3.4 billion border security budget will go toward the wall, with funds now designated for the Department of Public Safety and Texas National Guard
• Private landowner resistance and a prohibition on eminent domain forced the wall into dozens of fragmented sections across six border counties
• Illegal border crossings have declined more than 90 percent since late 2023, influencing the shift in focus from barriers to enforcement operations
