Relating to persons eligible to appeal the desired future conditions adopted by a groundwater conservation district.
This bill amends the Texas Water Code to clarify who qualifies as an "affected person" eligible to appeal decisions made by groundwater conservation districts. It directs courts to use Section 36.3011 (which defines eligibility) when determining who can challenge "desired future conditions" set by these districts. The change specifically affects individuals or entities directly impacted by groundwater management decisions, such as landowners or water users. It does not create new appeal rights but ensures consistent application of existing eligibility rules. The bill references an existing section rather than establishing new policy.
