The line between state-owned bed of navigable streams and adjoining private land is defined by what case?

The definition of the line between state-owned beds of navigable streams and adjoining private land is established in the case of Oklahoma vs Texas. This case clarified the legal principles regarding the ownership of land adjacent to navigable waters, asserting that the state retains ownership of the riverbeds of navigable streams up to the ordinary high-water mark. This public ownership principle is vital for understanding land rights and usage alongside navigable waterways.

In contrast, the other cases listed do not specifically address the delineation of state-owned riverbeds and private property ownership in the context relevant to Texas. They may deal with differing issues of state boundaries or other legal principles but do not set precedent on the relationship between state-owned riverbeds and adjacent private land. Thus, Oklahoma vs Texas is the landmark case that provides the legal underpinning for this critical aspect of land surveying and property law in Texas.
