In summer 2011, Canseco was criticized after initially declining to introduce a bill allowing for a swap of land between the U.S. government and Bexar County, Texas. The bill, which was supported by [[United States Secretary  of the Interior]] Ken Salazar and sponsored by the retiring U. S. Senator [[Kay Bailey Hutchison]], expanded the development of the San Antonio River to the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.<ref>{{cite news |title=Canseco is slow to move on Mission Park Expansion|date=July 24, 2011|url=http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/news_columnists/scott_stroud/article/Canseco-is-slow-to-move-on-Missions-park-expansion-1560374.php |ppublisher=''San Antonio Express-News''|accessdate=July 24, 2011}}</ref>

In October 2011, however, Canseco reversed himself and introduced the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park Boundary Expansion Act in the House, which mirrored Hutchison's Senate bill.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/11/san-antonio-missions-national-park-bill-approved-by-senate-panel/|title=San Antonio Missions national park bill approved by Senate panel}}</ref> The legislation would cost roughly $4 million over four years though the land was donated.
