Texas Supreme Court

City of Austin, Petitioner v. Joe M. Teague, Respondents

July 26, 197821 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 534

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the City of Austin's denial of a waterway development permit constituted a taking for which the city is liable for damages, but reversed the trial court’s damages award because the plaintiffs failed to prove loss of rentals with reasonable certainty, remanding for a new trial on damages.
