Annexation Fight Won By Monahans Court Voids Olsen Injunction
Monahans wins after Texas Court of Civil Appeals in El Paso dissolves the injunction that blocked the city from annexing a 12 000 acre water field in Ward and Winkler counties. Officials say the ruling allows Monahans to proceed once the mandate arrives, while Winkler County objects to annexation of land partly in its borders. The case arose from an anti annexation injunction sought by Kermit.
