The outcome of the RAILROAD COMMISSION OF TEXAS et al. v. ROWAN & NICHOLS OIL CO. case is that the Supreme Court of the United States issued a decision on June 3, 1940. The court ruled that the facts disclosed by the record did not differ materially from those found in the earlier RAILROAD COMMISSION OF TEXAS et al v. ROWAN & NICHOLS OIL CO case. As a result, the court upheld the decision of the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Texas, which had granted an injunction to the Rowan Nichols Oil Company to prevent the enforcement of an order by the Railroad Commission of Texas that affected production of oil from the company's oil lease in the East Texas oil field. The court held that the Railroad Commission of Texas did not have the authority to regulate the production of oil from the company's lease in the manner that it had attempted to do so.
