flag A Texas court struck down FinCEN’s real estate reporting rule, saying it overstepped authority and lacked evidence.

flag A Texas federal court has vacated FinCEN’s rule requiring reporting of non-financed residential real estate transfers to trusts or entities, ruling it exceeded the agency’s authority under the Bank Secrecy Act and lacked sufficient justification. flag The decision, effective March 1, 2026, invalidates a rule that would have mandated detailed personal and entity information on nearly 800,000 annual transactions, citing vague reasoning and no evidence that such transfers are inherently suspicious. flag The ruling, which applies nationwide, creates uncertainty for real estate professionals and law enforcement, though FinCEN may appeal. flag The decision marks a major setback for federal efforts to expand real estate transparency beyond previous geographic targeting orders.
