The State of Texas v. City of Austin; the State of Texas v. City of Dallas

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that Article 6674w-4 of the Texas Statutes, which requires the state to reimburse utilities for relocation costs incurred due to interstate highway improvements, is a constitutional exercise of the state's police power and does not constitute an impermissible grant of public funds to private parties.
