A Texas water district has won a court decision in its lawsuit over Oklahoma’s ban on out-of-state water sales.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver on Monday denied a request by Oklahoma to throw out the lawsuit filed by the Tarrant Regional Water District in Fort Worth.

The judges also wrote that Oklahoma does not own the water located in the state.

The lawsuit claims Oklahoma’s ban on selling water to out-of-state interests is unconstitutional.
