Town of Flower Mound, Texas, Petitioner v. Stafford Estates Limited Partnership, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the Town of Flower Mound's condition requiring the developer to rebuild an adjoining road in concrete constituted a compensable taking under both the Texas Constitution and the Fifth Amendment, but rejected the developer's claim for attorney and expert fees under federal civil‑rights statutes. The Court also declined to create a procedural bar to suit the developer after compliance with the condition.
