Northeast Texas business owner and activist Chris Spencer spoke to a full house last week at a meeting of the East Texas Republican Women, held in Atlanta. Spencer is a Morris County native, graduating from Hughes Springs High. He was appointed as the Chairman of the Sulphur River Basin Authority in 2018 by Governor Abbott.
Spencer spoke in his role as the chairman of the Sulphur River Basin Authority and told the ladies gathered there of the role of the SRBA to manage the conservation of the State’s natural resources within the Sulphur River Basin.
Spencer went into detail of the water rights of Northeast Texans and noted that though the water in the basin belongs to the State of Texas, he and the SRBA act as fiduciary agents for those resources.
