City of Lorena, Texas, Petitioner v. Bmtp Holdings, L.p., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the City of Lorena's sewer‑tap moratorium cannot be applied to property that had been approved for subdivision and therefore BMTP is entitled to a declaratory judgment in its favor; the Court also remanded the inverse‑condemnation and attorney‑fees claims for further fact‑finding. Justice HECHT dissented and Justice LEHRMANN filed a concurring opinion.
