Any endangered critters around there for BLM to claim need protection? Any Land deals in the works in the region?
Nope, just a river that moves and they say the land he has been paying taxes on and OWN for decades is not his but is now Oklahoma's since the river eroded ( in simple terms) over into Oklahoma.
If the BLM is successful in its bid to seize the 90,000 acres, it would substantially alter the boundaries between the two states. The fight boils down to the difference between avulsion and accretion, and the way the river moves. Since the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 there has been some controversy about the exact boundary between Texas and Oklahoma along the Red River. The river has moved over time and the boundary is supposed to be noted as the vegetation line along the south side of the waterway.
Either way, it makes no sense as to why he can't still own the land in OK, why must they take it?
