What happened: In an Institute of Justice’s (IJ) press release concerning the food truck lawsuit filed in 2019, Texas’ 13th Court of Appeals reversed Judge Arturo Nelson’s decision and granted the City of SPI immunity.
Why it matters: The City of South Padre Island, in the Memorandum, argued their ordinances “served to benefit SPI’s economy and promote economic development.” Evidence also suggests the Appellees (plaintiffs) lacked “any evidence of how they have been oppressed.” |
