TWA reaffirms groundwater as a vested property right 

The Texas Wildlife Association has reaffirmed the ownership of groundwater by landowners as a vested real property right and has proclaimed its support for the local regulatory approach to groundwater management that recognizes groundwater as a property right.

The policy statement approved by the TWA Executive Committee on September 9 provides the organization the foundation to pursue legislative and regulatory solutions to the important issue of groundwater as a property right, an issue that has been raised in the courts by some groundwater districts that have challenged this vested right.

TWA will work with Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and other associations and groups that share this philosophy to pursue this policy goal.
