Hallco Texas, Inc., Petitioner v. McMullen County, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that Hallco Texas, Inc.'s regulatory‑takings claim is barred because it lacks a cognizable property interest in solid‑waste disposal, the claim is precluded by res judicata, and the as‑applied claim is not ripe. The Court also affirmed the dismissal of Hallco's claim under the Private Real Property Rights Preservation Act.
