If he paid taxes to TX for lands in OK then he may have a claim for return of those tax dollars from TX...it all comes down to TX and OK resolving the border dispute. He may keep his land if the resolution keeps all the AC he claims in TX...if it goes to OK he loses. Where the states agree to set the border may cause him to lose land, not the BLM.

I don't get why he loses his land if they change the borders to Ok.

IF the border's change then wouldn't OK have to recognize his ownership of that land previously under Texas and just file paperwork to give him a deed for the Ok portion? Then he would pay property tax to Oklahoma?

I don't get why he has to lose his land just because a state border changes. What if say the Colorado splitting into 2 states were to happen? Would all of those property owners in the new state have to give their land to the BLM since the Colorado deed would no longer be valid?
