Sheffield Development Company, Inc., Petitioner v. City of Glenn Heights, Texas, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that neither the City’s moratorium nor its rezoning of Sheffield Development Co.'s property constituted a compensable taking under the Texas Constitution, and reversed the Court of Appeals on those claims. The Court also found Sheffield’s claim for declaratory relief that its development rights vested by a March 11, 1997 plat to be ripe and remanded the issue for further determination.
