Alvin M. Stone, Petitioner v. Texas Liquor Control Board, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that a private citizen contesting a liquor license application has no right to appeal the county judge's approval order or the Board's issuance of a license absent a statutory provision or constitutional/vested right. The court relied on the general rule that administrative orders are not appealable unless expressly authorized.
