East Texas
Water Rights
Water is the lifeblood of East Texas — and it belongs to the people who live on this land, not the interests trying to pipe it out from over our heads.

What's at stake
Whether your well runs, your cattle drink, and your kids' kids can still work the land your family has worked for generations.
Out here, water isn't an abstraction. It's whether your well runs, whether your cattle drink, whether your kids' kids can still work the land your family has worked for generations. East Texas sits on some of the most coveted freshwater in the state, and that makes it a target.
The play is always the same: the metros grow, demand climbs, and the pressure builds to move our water somewhere else — through pipelines, through districts and authorities run by people who never set foot here, through deals cut over the heads of the families who live with the consequences. Once water leaves, it doesn't come back.
I'm fighting to keep East Texas water in East Texas hands: local control, real transparency on every sale and transfer, and a hard 'no' to schemes that treat our aquifers and rivers as someone else's resource to drain. The people who live on the land should decide what happens to what's under it.

- 1Local control — the people who live on the land decide what happens to the water under it.

Fuel this fight.
I do this with no organization behind me and no middleman taking a cut. If this is your fight too, the most powerful things you can do are share it and help keep the lights on.
