General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Texas v. Louisiana, 426 U.S. 465 (1976)
Texas v. Louisiana No. 36, Orig. Argued January 19, 1976 Decided June 14, 1976 426 U.S. 465
ON EXCEPTIONS TO REPORT OF SPECIAL MASTER
Syllabus
Louisiana’s exception to the portion of the Special Master’s report that marks the boundary line between Louisiana and Texas in the Sabine River as it enters into Sabine Lake through the "middle pass," rather than in the geographic middle of the "west pass," is overruled, where the Special Master’s determination is consistent with this Court’s rejection of the thalweg doctrine in Texas v. Louisiana, 410 U.S. 702; and Texas’ exceptions to the Special Master’s delimitation of the lateral seaward boundary are overruled, where the Special Master, after having correctly concluded that there has never been an established offshore boundary between the States, correctly applied the Convention on the Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone, Arts. 12 and 8 of which clearly require that the median line be measured with reference to the jetties at the mouth of the Sabine River.
