Perhaps there is another river nearby to the south to provide for the Texans.

I have no idea what that means.
The Red River is a “border” river. It begins at the Eastern base of the TX Panhandle, separating OK, small portion of SW AR and then forms the Western LA border before it empties into the Gulf of MX just East of Port Arthur TX.
The subject of the thread is the land grab more than access to water, although water is very important to the ranchers and farmers.
and then forms the Western LA border before it empties into the Gulf of MX
just East of Port Arthur TX.

Not that it matters a lot but the Red isn’t the Western border of LA. It enters
LA east of I-49 and Shreveport and flows south east through Alexandria and finally
ends when it meets the Atachalafaya - Mississippi river basin on the eastern
side of LA north of I-10 some 50 plus miles.
