Pr Investments and Specialty Retailers, Inc., Petitioners v. the State of Texas, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment, holding that a trial court retains jurisdiction to hear a condemnation case de novo even when the condemning authority changes its road‑design plan after the special commissioners' hearing, and that the trial court erred in dismissing the case and imposing excessive sanctions. The case was remanded for the trial court to reconsider appropriate monetary sanctions.
