Jackson Walker partner Lynn Sherman will be a featured speaker at the Texas Land & Mineral Owners Association (TLMA) Statewide Members Meeting on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio.

Lynn’s presentation, “The State of Water in Texas: Stressed Supplies & Stressing Rights,” will explore the pressures on Texas water resources and the evolving legal and regulatory landscape affecting mineral and surface owners.

Created in 1999, the Texas Land & Mineral Owners Association engages in direct advocacy to achieve its mission of fostering a business and legal environment that promotes a healthy oil and gas industry in Texas. TLMA advances policies that ensure the rights of mineral and surface owners are protected, encourage a reduction in litigation, and support the protection of groundwater resources.
