Texas Supreme Court

Juan Villalobos v. Niguel Holguin

February 11, 1948146 Tex. 474

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the statutory term “suburbs” refers only to outlying, built‑up areas adjacent to a city and does not include the rural territory between El Paso and the towns of Ysleta, Socorro, San Elizario, and Clint. Accordingly, the injunction limiting the defendants to the city limits was overly broad, and the appellate court’s order to remand for a factual finding on suburb status was reversed, with the trial court instructed to reform the injunction accordingly.
