City of Hutchins, Texas, Petitioner v. Frank J. Prasifka, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a city zoning ordinance cannot be amended by a resolution, that the legislative validating act does not convert the resolution into an ordinance, and that the City of Hutchins is not estopped from enforcing the residential zoning classification. The Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and remanded with instructions to issue a permanent injunction against the plaintiffs' use of the property for heavy manufacturing.
