A panel of Judges of the 10th circuit courts has dismissed the Tarrant Co. lawsuit seeking water from southeast Oklahoma. It stated that the Red River Compact did not give Texas the rights to Oklahoma water without the State of Oklahoma's approval. This involved the City of Hugo selling water to Texas.
Of course the lawsuit filed by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations case stating that the State of Oklahoma didn't have the right to remove water for those Nations waterways without their approval. The Nations state the the "Treaty of the Dancing Rabbit Creek" prior to and at the time of Statehood gave them rights over the waters.
