City of Anson v. Harper

Appellees (Dorothy Davis Jones Harper, Donna D. Fitzpatrick, Bobby Joe Jones, Annie Marie Jones Spruit, Pauline Jones Morgan, Reese Davis, Mary Evelyn Hanson, James Ann Reneau, Travis W. Davis, Audrey D. Hudson, and Cottonwood Petroleum Company), collectively "plaintiffs," filed suit against the City of Anson, Texas, seeking damages and equitable relief because of the Citys plans to build a municipal solid waste landfill on land where they own the minerals. The City filed a plea to the jurisdiction. The trial court denied that motion, and the City filed an interlocutory appeal. We affirm in part and reverse and render in part.
