On the same day as its primary endorsement of Bush for re-nomination as land commissioner, ''The Express-News'' reported that Bush's name is not found on records for his 4,000-square-foot house in an exclusive gated community in west Austin. The house was purchased in 2014 by the San Houston Trust, which received an $850,000 mortgage loan from a bank owned by Brandon Steele, a political donor to both Jeb and George P. Bush.
