According to the National Association of Realtors, that's actually not the case. California attracts only slightly more international buyers than Texas.

Texas has stronger ties to Latin America and the Middle East while still attracting a not-insignificant number of Asian buyers (Houston in particular has very strong ties to Asia). California obviously does get the bulk of investment from Asia.
