Supreme Court of the United States

DeVillier v. Texas

April 16, 2024601 U.S. 285

Summary

The Court held that because Texas law provides an inverse‑condemnation cause of action, the petitioners may pursue their takings claims under that state‑law vehicle. The Supreme Court vacated the Fifth Circuit’s judgment and remanded for further proceedings. It did not decide whether the Takings Clause itself creates a cause of action.
