A group of land owners who live outside of Terrell say they will keep fighting the city’s efforts to annex their property.
The City of Terrell says it wants to annex land along busy roadways for the betterment of Terrell.
Not betterment, enrichment, the residents say.
And while a judge had blocked annexation and sided with the residents, an appeals court overturned the injunction and dismissed the suit.
Attorney Scott Gray says the residents are hopping mad. He says the residents will appeal either to the full 5th Circuit Court of Appeals or directly to the Supreme Court of Texas.
Because of that, Terrell’s city manager says they cannot comment other than to say they are pleased by the ruling.
