February 13, 2015 Weekly Round Up
We’ve made it to the end of another week! Here are some ag law stories making news. * Texas Supreme Court Could Hear Groundwater Case. You may recall from this prior blog the Coyote Lake Ranch v. City of Lubbock lawsuit. The Ranch owns the surface, but all groundwater rights were severed and sold to Lubbock by prior owners in the 1960’s. As part of the contract for the water rights, Lubbock obtained the right to enter the land and drill water wells. The Ranch is concerned that by… Read More →
January 30, 2015 Weekly Round Up
I’m not sure how the month of January has already drawn to a close, but I hope everyone has enjoyed the first 30 days of the new year! This month has brought two great speaking opportunities. First, I spoke to beef producers from Texas and New Mexico at the Southwest Beef Symposium in Amarillo, where I presented on legal resources for agricultural producers. Last week, I traveled to Atlanta to speak at the Southern Dairy Conference. There, I presented on how to prevent and survive and undercover video… Read More →
December 12, 2014 Weekly Round Up
Happy Friday! It has been a busy couple of weeks around here. Last week, I traveled to Brady for the Tri-County Land and Livestock Conference to discuss agricultural and oil and gas leases. This week, I was off to Archer City to discuss agricultural leases. Welcome to those of you who attended those programs. * US Appeals WTO Ruling on Country of Origin Labeling for Meat. As you may recall from this post, the WTO recently found that the United States Country of Origin Labeling (“COOL”) regulations violate… Read More →
November 14, 2014 Weekly Round Up
Another weekend has arrived! I hope you have all managed to stay warm during this first major winter snap of the season. Here are a few ag law stories making news this week. * Article Profiles Karnes City Response to Oil Boom. The Texas Tribune ran an interesting article on how Karnes City, in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale, is handling the impacts of the current oil boom. The article highlights the benefits that the oil field has brought to the town, including money for a new high school,… Read More →
Weekly Round Up Catch Up (October 24 – November 7)
You all may have noticed the lack of weekly round up posts for the last couple of Fridays. I apologize for that, but hope you will agree I had a good excuse…. In addition to getting married, I was also fortunate to be able to speak at two national conferences. First, I spoke on grazing and hunting leases at the American Agricultural Law Association Conference in Albuquerque and then I spoke on regulatory takings of water at the American Water Resources Association Conference in Washington, DC. Both were… Read More →
October 17, 2014 Weekly Round Up
Thank you all for your kind words after my big announcement last week. I am happy to report that I am settled into my new office in Amarillo and back at it. Yesterday, I had the chance to present on water law for the Big County Master Naturalists group in Abilene via webcam. Welcome to those of you visiting the blog from that event! Here are some of the ag law stories in the news this week. Video Addresses Proposed Water Pipeline Project. The Texas Tribune put together a… Read More →
October 10, 2014 Weekly Round Up
October is an exciting month for me and will be culminating in a couple of major changes. I will be getting married at the end of the month! As a result of the upcoming nuptials, I will be transferring office locations. I will still be working in my same role with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension as the state-wide Extension Agricultural Law Specialist, but I will be moving my base office to our Amarillo District Center. It is a wonderful opportunity for my husband and I to live in the same… Read More →
Proposed Texas Water Pipeline Causes Controversy
Growing up, I had an elderly neighbor who used to say that the solution to drought was to build a pipeline from places with water to places without. At the time, most people thought he was crazy. Three decades later, it looks like some other folks have bought into his idea. Last week, the San Antonio Water System (“SAWS”) Board approved a contract with a water supply company that would build a pipeline and pump water from rural Central Texas to San Antonio. Background San Antonio has long… Read More →
