San Angelo Students Told Tidelands Not Federal Lands
Interior Department solicitor told San Angelo high school students that the federal government does not claim title to Texas tidelands. He explained tidelands are submerged lands along the coast and that the 1845 Supreme Court decision places them with the states. A 1948 US Texas dispute concerned oil in submerged lands, not tidelands. The letter notes Congress may grant submerged lands to coastal states, with the President unsure but not opposing substantial state income from them.
