Creation of the district:

The Texas State Legislature in 1949 authorized the creation of Underground Water Conservation Districts to perform certain prescribed duties, functions, and hold specific powers as set forth in Article 7880-3c, Texas Civil Statutes, now codified in Chapter 36 of the Texas Water Code.

This District was legislatively created and confirmed by the citizens of Presidio County through an election on August 31, 1999.
