Beach City residents backed by Harris County in TCEQ landfill case
In a federal suit over a proposed non-hazardous industrial waste landfill off Highway 99, 16 Beach City residents receive support from Harris County in an amicus brief. Judge Samuel Kent earlier blocked the project citing due process concerns and lack of formal rules. The Harris County brief argues procedural due process violations continue as permit decisions proceed without established safeguards. The Texas Attorney General's Office represents TCEQ in the appeal.
