		<p>The Sabine River Authority of Texas was created in 1949 by the 51st
		  Texas Legislature (House Bill 467, Regular Session) as a conservation and
		  reclamation district with responsibilities to control, store, preserve, and
		  distribute the waters of the Sabine River and its tributary system for
useful
		  purposes. The boundaries established by statute comprise all of the area
lying
		  within the watershed of the Sabine River and its tributary streams within
the
		  state of Texas. The watershed area in Texas includes all or parts of
twenty-one
		  counties. Texas has jurisdiction to the midstream boundary for the
stateline
		  reach of the Sabine River.</p>
		<p>The Sabine River Authority of Texas is governed by a nine-member Board
		  of Directors, who serve six-year terms, with three members being appointed
by
		  the Governor every two years. Directors are required to reside within a
county
		  situated wholly or partially within the watershed of the Sabine River and
are
		  vested with the management and control of the affairs of the Authority.</p>
