Apparantly the mean water line is no longer the border along the Red River....?
NPR did a small piece (audio, no text) where they interviewed a Texas rancher whose land is now in Oklahoma, and therefore not his anymore. There are ties to the BLM and rights of Native Americans.
It will all even out, no doubt they are giving up just as much as they are taking,,,,,:whistle:

There is a "kids moving from special education to gifted program" joke here somewhere. 😀
Do you happen to know what county this case is located in?
This is the result of the B.L.M. (Bureau of Land Managment) trying to claim land that isn't theirs to claim. They are claiming that as the Red River moved north in certain sections the state line didn't move. But the Gradient boundary moved and that defines the Texas/Oklahoma border.
Basically it amounts to the Federal Government STEALING land.
Not our Federal Government. Couldn't be. They give things away. Right?
