Hope your not offended by the handle ;-), was feeling a bit playful, but I would like to know what your progress was on the riparian issue you were working on.
- Did you find some case law to support your analysis?
- Were you helped in any way by the responses?
- What is your opinion of the riparian issue? (... or can you not comment?)
- How did you like the nip in the air today?

In Counter-Strike I am "Jack The Ripper"
I have continued my pursuit of more documentation. I have seen some things that were leaning towrds the belief that the contour is, indeed, ambulatory. I have also seen a couple of decisions that indicate the contrary. Brainard v. State is oh-so-close, yet so far away. I believe its' decision was that gradient boundaries downstream of a dam are the boundary lines even as they are located after the dam has altered the flow of the waters. If a manmade alteration of the water's edge may be accepted as the new boundary line below a manmade dam, what about the alteration of the water's edge above the dam?
As usual, it depends. I have come to the conclusion that I probably (due to my limited wherewithal, desire and intelligence) will not find a Texas case on point. Time will tell as to whether or not I will find something elsewhere. But thanks for the follow-up inquiry.
