Explanation:

Texas has a pretty unique legislation with regards to water sources, both groundwater and surface water. In essence, the law of the state states that a landowner becomes the owner of any water sources underground which are part of his/her property, and they can pump it, and use it, as they see fit. However, this comes from the belief that the water in groundwater sources comes from water that sifts from the surface to the ground of the land, not the subterranean rivers, or lakes. This is known as the rule of capture, or right of capture. This rule will not apply, then, to underground rivers and lakes. However, when it comes to surface water, this resource belongs to the state of Texas and it can only be used by a landowner with the permission of the authorities of the state.
