Just did a quick search: LINK

To summarize: After the annexation ordinance was passed, a suit must be filed within the next 30 days to contest it. Once a judgment is rendered, the annexation goes into effect 10 days later unless the ruling is appealed. You only have 5 days from the initial judgment to file an appeal.

Thanks for the link Mickey. Seems to me the law is pretty clear in this case on the rules of a court challenge to annexation.

Thanks.

If that is the statute the lawsuit is filed under then it's a slam dunk for the annexation. There's a simple 3 question test the annexation must satisfy, 1) reasonableness, 2) sufficient signatures, and 3) compliance with the EBR Plan of Government's process for annexations.

I say "if" because the pages before and after that page have exceptions and other "clarifications" that may make EBR/BR not applicable to that statute. I don't feel like taking the time to research those exceptions and clarifications.

Thanks again.
