[QUOTE="Pineland, post: 906096, member: 15888"] Here is a summary of the case. [url=http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/historical/2012/feb/080964.pdf]http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/h ... 080964.pdf[/url] There are still going to be some more lawsuits come out of this because the Tx supreme court did indeed rule that the groundwater beneath our property is now indeed ours, but they side stepped a few issues and sent some issues back down to lower courts. They still held that the state has the right to regulate water. One of the issues is going to be what fair compensation may be if they limit your use or take water from you. While the ruling affirmed property owners rights to be compensated for regulation that limited their access to groundwater, it also reaffirmed water authorities’ ability to control water use. That left some gray area in terms of how much regulation may be acceptable and where compensation will be warranted. [/QUOTE]
