- And Finally, Lone Star Sua Sponte Sucker Punch is brought to us this week by State v. City of McAllen, in which a coalition of Texas cities engaged in lengthy, complex litigation with the state regarding the state fee statute governing rates payable by utility providers for installation of wireless network nodes in public rights-of-way. Bear in mind that all parties fully participated in years of litigation before the matter went up to the state supreme court. At which point, the court tossed the entire case for lack of jurisdiction, finding that the cities could not simply sue the state generally. Ouch. As the court concluded, “Perhaps, if the case is revived in a justiciable posture, some of the time and effort expended over the last nine years will not have gone entirely to waste.” Double Ouch.
