FHEO’s investigative finding that the prior disparate‑impact based allegations were baseless and that Texas GLO complied with federal race‑neutral standards in awarding mitigation grants stands as HUD’s formal conclusion.
HUD’s official press release dated January 28, 2026 (HUD No. 26-009) states that HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) closed the civil‑rights investigation and determined prior allegations, based on a disparate‑impact theory, that the Texas General Land Office engaged in racial discrimination when making grant awards were baseless and unfounded; the release further states HUD concluded the GLO complied with federal standards to administer a race‑neutral competition. Verdict: True — the claim accurately reflects HUD’s stated conclusion in the department’s January 28, 2026 press release and related HUD materials closing the investigation.
