Leslie C. Dupuy, Jr., Petitioner v. the City of Waco, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the construction of a viaduct that impaired the plaintiff's access to his property constituted a compensable taking under Article I, Sec. 17 of the Texas Constitution, reversed the Court of Civil Appeals, and affirmed the trial court's judgment. The Court also found no reversible error in the jury instructions concerning the consideration of damages.
