A county deed shows SpaceX bought about 32 acres off Illinois Avenue.

The deed, recorded with the Cameron County Clerk on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, covers six lots on the east side of Brownsville. The county appraisal district lists them at about 32 acres. No price is listed, and SpaceX hasn't said what the land is for.
