Austin R. Moody v. Mark White

The Attorney General of Texas brought this suit August 11, 1976, against Austin R. Moody and Dorothy K. Moody to enforce the Texas Open Beaches Act. The plaintiff requested a finding that the public has the right of use and easement to and over an area claimed by the defendants extending from the line of mean low tide to the line of vegetation in the City of Port Aransas, Mustang Island, on its seaward shore on the Gulf of Mexico. Also the plaintiff sought, among other things, a mandatory injunction requiring the removal of defendants structures existing on that area of the beach in question.
