Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the Edwards Aquifer Authority properly set the permit‑application filing deadline of December 30, 1996 based on the Barshop decision, that Chemical Lime’s late filing did not constitute substantial compliance with the statutory deadline, and that the Authority is entitled to attorney fees under the Water Code. The Court remanded for further proceedings. Justice Brister and Justice Willett filed concurring opinions discussing when appellate judgments take effect.
