James C. Scott Et Al v. Board Adjustment Et Al

Three taxpayers, Petitioners here, brought an injunction proceeding against the City of Corpus Christi, its Board of Adjustment, and the Greater Corpus Enterprises, Inc., operator of a Ramada Inn. The suit was to restrain the maintenance of a large Ramada Inn sign authorized by the Board as a variance under the City zoning ordinance. The trial court entered a summary judgment dismissing the action on the ground that plaintiffs had no justiciable interest which would justify their prosecution of a suit. That action was affirmed by the Court of Civil Appeals. 393 S.W.2d 837.
