Tenants Displaced when Alamo Heights ISD Bought an Apartment Building for Demolition Lose Claim for “Relocation Expenses”

Texas Eighth Court of Appeals (El Paso)
Ruling: An ISD that bypassed the eminent domain process to surreptitiously (via an “arms length” process) purchase, and then demolish, a small apartment building doesn’t have to pay the relocation expenses of the building’s former tenants.
