Texas Supreme Court

F. M. Corzelius v. H. M. Harell

April 4, 1945143 Tex. 509

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court and Court of Civil Appeals judgments that cancelled the Railroad Commission's orders and permanently enjoined the Commission, holding that the statutes authorizing the Commission to prorate gas production and adjust correlative rights are constitutional and valid. The Court also found the Board of Water Engineers precedent inapplicable and dismissed the cause as moot.
