City of Houston v. State ex rel. City of West University Place

CODY, Justice.

This proceeding is in the nature of a quo warranto, brought by the Attorney General of Texas and the District Attorney of Harris County upon the relation of the City of West University Place, its mayor and commissioners, against the City of Houston, etc. The relief sought was a degree adjudged that the act of the City of Houston in annexing land so as to effect a complete bottling up of the City of West University Place, whereby the right of the City of West University Place to exercise a like right of annexing land in the future was destroyed, was void.

Both cities are organized…
