"Supreme Court Allows Texas Rancher to Sue State for Flood Damage"
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a Texas landowner can sue the state for flood damage to his property caused by changes to Interstate 10, allowing him to seek compensation under state law. The decision could have broad implications for property owners in Texas, but it does not address whether landowners in states without similar laws can sue on the federal level. The Attorney General claimed victory, but the landowner's lawyer disagreed, stating that the Supreme Court's decision is not a win for the state.
