No alien shall hold land in Texas, ex- cept by titles emanating directly from the Government of this Republic. But if any citizen of this Republic should die intestate or otherwise, his children or heirs shall in- herit his estate, and aliens shall have a rea- sonable time to take possession of and dis- pose of the same, in a manner hereinafter to be pointed out by law. Orphan children, whose parents were entitled to land under the colonization law of Mexico, and who now reside in the Republic,... shall be entitled to all the rights of which their parents were pos- sessed at the time of their death. The citi- zens of the Republic shall not be compelled to reside on the land, but shall have their lines plainly marked. All orders of survey legally obtained by any citizen of the Republic, from any legally authorized commissioner, prior to the act of the late consultation closing the land offices, shall be valid. In all cases the actual set- tler and occupant of the soil shall be entitled, in locating his land, to include his improve- ment, in preference to all other claims not acquired previous to his settlement, accor- ding to the law of the land and this Consti- tution: Provided, That nothing herein con- tained shall prejudice the rights of any citi- zen from whom a settler may hold land by rent or lease.
