Hill v. City of Castle Hills

Court of Civil Appeals of Texas, San Antonio
Apr 20, 1955
282 S.W.2d 891 (Tex. Civ. App. 1955)

Opinion

No. 12803.

March 23, 1955. Rehearing Denied April 20, 1955.

Appeal from the 37th District Court, Bexar County, C. K. Quin, J.

Harrison Smallwood, Ronald Smallwood, San Antonio, for appellant.

Bobbitt, Brite Bobbitt, San Antonio, for appellee.


The trial court, after hearing, temporarily enjoined appellant from using certain property in Castle Hills for business purposes, since the property was zoned for residential uses only. Appellant urges that the penal provision of the ordinance affords the sole instrument for enforcement, that it is an adequate remedy, and the injunction should not have been granted.

The judgment is affirmed, since Article 1011h, Vernon's Ann.Civ.Stats., authorizes the remedy by way of injunction. City of Corpus Christi v. Jones, Tex.Civ.App., 144 S.W.2d 388, 401.

Affirmed.
