Citizens Bank of Bryan, Petitioners v. First State Bank, Hearne, Texas, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court, holding that the State Banking Board must consider public necessity in both the original and new banking communities when approving a change of domicile and that the Board violated the Administrative Procedure Act by failing to serve a proposal for decision when a voting official had not read the record. Justice Denton dissented, asserting that the Court of Civil Appeals was correct.
