GALVESTON, Texas—A federal appeals court, ruling in the case of a Galveston waterfront property owner, says the Texas Open Beaches Act that keeps the state’s beaches public is unconstitutional.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling echoes a Texas Supreme Court ruling last month that found problems with the law as it applies to west Galveston Island beaches rapidly eroded by storms.
A San Diego attorney sued after she was ordered to move her home because storm erosion put it on the public beach.
In a 2-1 ruling Monday, the 5th Circuit said enforcement of the law was unreasonable seizure of property. A lower federal court had dismissed her suit.
The Texas General Land Office told the Houston Chronicle it hadn’t seen the ruling and had no reaction.
