Paul Trimmier, Canvassing Board v. J. B. Carlton

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' judgment invalidating the Conservation and Reclamation District, holding that the statutory amendments to the Water Improvement Act apply to such districts, that the statutes authorizing issuance of organization notes and delegating authority to the Board of Water Engineers are constitutional, but that the district's boundaries were insufficiently defined, rendering the district void.
