Parker County v. Spindletop Oil & Gas Co.

OPINION

SPURLOCK, Justice.

Spindletop Oil & Gas Company, for itself and as representative of a class, brought this ad valorem tax suit. Plaintiffs claimed their property was taxed at 100% of market value while other real estate in the taxing jurisdiction was taxed at only a fraction of its true value. Plaintiffs prayed that the taxing authorities be enjoined from certifying the tax roll and implementing the roll until all property has been placed on the roll at its true value. The plaintiffs obtained a judgment from which the taxing authorities appeal.

We affirm.
