Board of Water Engineers of the State of Texas v. City of San Antonio

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts, holding that the City of San Antonio had a justiciable controversy under the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act and that Section 1-a of Article 1434a is unconstitutional because it violates the single‑subject requirement of the Texas Constitution. The Court also rejected arguments that the lack of a prayer for traditional relief or the applicability of the local‑law provision affected jurisdiction.
