The City of West Lake Hills, Petitioner v. the State of Texas ex rel. City of Austin, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's judgment upholding the City of West Lake Hills south of Bee Creek and invalidating its northern fringe and Ordinance No. 6 annexation. The Court held that the record was timely filed, the individual landowners lacked standing, the original incorporation was void north of Bee Creek, and the legislature's validation statutes do not cure non‑contiguity. The appellate court's judgment was reversed and the trial court affirmed.
