Incident Location
Sunset Valley, TX
Disputed Act
City and city officials filed action against Texas Dept. of Transportation (TxDOT) concerning highway expansion. District Court awarded city damages and fees; declared TxDOT violated administrative regulations regarding noise and lighting, enjoined private nuisance, and enjoined equal protection violations from use of flood lights and failure to erect city limit signs.
Holding
TxDOT's alleged failure to erect signage and decision to install high-mast floodlights did not give City officials standing to bring claim; nuisance created by floodlights did not amount to unconstitutional taking of mayor's property.
