City of Waco v. Akard green
texapp · 1952
1 sentence

1969Within Subsection D the two-year provision is referred to, not as a “direction,” but as a “requirement.” Appellee Landrum’s brief cites only one case, City of Waco v. Akard, Tex.Civ.App., 252 S.W.2d 496 , err. ref. n. r. e., as authority for the contention that the provision is merely directory.
