Texas Supreme Court

W. A. Robbins v. Limestone County

January 28, 1925114 Tex. 345

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court answered the certified questions, holding that Limestone County and Road District No. 15 are authorized to sue, that Chapter 75 of the General Laws is constitutionally valid and enforceable, and that its individual sections (including 16, 16a, 16j, 16k, 16m, 16p, 18, and 20) are not repugnant to the Texas or U.S. Constitutions. The Court’s reasoning rests on the principle that public roads are state property and that the Legislature has exclusive authority over them.
