Description
This is an appeal from the final judgment rendered in Cause B-20,576 on the docket of the District Court of Hidalgo County, 93rd Judicial District, styled, The State of Texas, et al v. Hidalgo County Water Control and Improvement District No. Eighteen, et al, and commonly referred to as the Lower Rio Grande Valley Water Suit. In Hidalgo & Cameron Counties Water Control & Improvement District Nine v. J. H. Starley, Special Judge, 373 S.W.2d 731 (Tex. Sup. 1964), the Supreme Court pointed out that this suit [No. B-20,576] "was filed by the State in 1956 to obtain an adjudication of the water rights to the American share of the waters of the Rio Grande. The fifth amended original petition of the State names approximately three thousand defendants who claim the right to use water from the Rio Grande for a variety of uses, including the irrigation of over 850,000 acres of land situated in the Counties of Starr, Hidalgo, Cameron and Willacy." The judgment from which this appeal is prosecuted adjudicates the water rights on that segment of the river system lying immediately below the Falcon dam and extending to the mouth of the Rio Grande.
