Texas city street improvements gain supreme court approval
The Texas law allowing cities to fund permanent street improvements through assessments on abutting property has been upheld by the supreme court.

The essay argues homeowners face higher taxes but gain increased property values and better services, urging timely action to prevent further expansion of unpaved areas.
