City of Waco, Petitioner v. Texland Corporation, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the judgments, holding that damage under Article 1, Sec. 17 of the Texas Constitution occurs when a public improvement materially and substantially impairs access to an abutting property, even if reasonable access remains. Justice McGEE, in a concurring opinion, argued that any impairment beyond de minimis should be compensable and disagreed with the majority's material‑and‑substantial limitation.
