Supreme Court of Texas
City of Marshall v. City of Uncertain, 03-1111
While section 11.122(b) of the Texas Water Code significantly restricts the issues that may be reviewed in a contested-case proceeding, it does not altogether preclude a contested-case hearing when a proposed water-rights amendment requests a change in use but does not seek to increase the amount of water appropriated or the rate of diversion.
