Texas Supreme Court

Austin Independent School District, Petitioners v. Sierra Club, Respondents

May 9, 197316 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 328

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Austin Independent School District had statutory authority to condemn the park land, that Article 1019 and the city charter did not void the condemnation judgment, and that the suit was a collateral attack not permissible absent a jurisdictional defect, thereby reversing the Court of Civil Appeals and affirming the trial court judgment.
