Universal City v. City of Selma

HALL, Justice.

The City of Universal City lies generally south of the City of Selma. On September 8, 1973, Selma began proceedings for annexing territory adjoining its southern boundary. On October 11, 1973, Universal City brought suit against Selma in the 73rd Judicial District Court, pleading that, for sundry reasons, the impending annexation should be declared invalid, and permanently enjoined. Trial to the court without a jury resulted in a take-nothing judgment against Universal City on October 23, 1973. Selma then proceeded with the annexation and completed it on October 27, 1973.
