Crosstex North Texas Pipeline, L.P. v. Gardiner
Texas Supreme Court
505 S.W.3d 580 (2016)
Relevant factsFree
Crosstex (defendant) built a compressor station generating a loud, jet-engine-like constant roar next to the Gardiners' (plaintiffs') ranch, and the Gardiners sued for private nuisance; the trial court ruled for the Gardiners, but the appellate court reversed and remanded for a new trial, prompting the Texas Supreme Court to grant review to clarify unsettled nuisance-law principles.
IssueFree
Whether liability for nuisance requires conduct that substantially interferes with others' use and enjoyment of property and causes unreasonable discomfort and annoyance.
