State of Texas v. Target Corporation

Outcome: $682,000 jury verdict in favor of client property owner

Description: Texas Department of Transportation widening of Texas Avenue in College Station resulted in the loss of 31 parking spaces from big box retailer's parking lot. The State contended that retailer had excess parking under the City's regulations such that the loss did not impact the market value of its remaining property. The retailer claimed that the market demanded more parking than required by the City's parking ordinance, claiming over $500,000 in damages for the lost spaces.
