Attorney Trey Wilson has represented public and privately-owned water utilities in state, federal and bankruptcy court litigation relating to service area/boundary disputes (including 7 U.S.C. § 1926(b) litigation), service rates, real estate transactions, contract disputes, professional negligence claims (relating to defective design of facilities), collections/service interruption, and permitting disputes.
It has been said "Whiskey is for drinking and water is for fightin." In Texas, water is our most valuable resource, and has become increasingly scarce with our State's population explosion. Naturally, ownership, control and use of water carry tremendous legal and financial implications. Meanwhile, multiple layers of governmental regulation have made acquisition, development, use, marketing, and transmission of water in Texas increasingly complex. This site contains the musings of a water lawyer.
