LSGCD was created by the 77th Texas Legislature, with a 73.85% voter-approval rate in a confirmation election.

LSGCD determined that no more than 64,000 acre-feet (21 billion gallons) should be pumped each year from the Gulf Coast Aquifers in Montgomery County. Average annual use exceeds 25 billion gallons.

Large-volume users were told to file Groundwater Reduction Plans (GRP) to show they will reduce their 2009 total qualifying demand by 30 percent (plans were due April 2011).

January 1, 2016, deadline was set for large-volume users to reduce groundwater use.

Groundwater reduction plans begin implementation. Large-volume users must reduce pumping groundwater to 70 percent of their 2009 total qualifying demand.

During the 85th Session of the Texas Legislature, House Bill 1982 was authored to amend Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District’s en­abling legislation. The amendment changed the existing enabling legislation from an appointed nine-person board of directors to a seven-mem­ber elected board.

The newly elected Board of Directors were sworn in on November 16, 2018, following a Spe­cial Board Meeting whereby the election was canvassed, and Certificates of Elections were signed and distributed.
