The Texas Supreme Court on April 19 re-heard oral arguments in Severance v. Patterson , a case pitting private property rights against the state's enforcement of the public's right to free beach access. In its November 2010 opinion, a 6-2 court held that Texas does not recognize a public easement that automatically moves far inland after storms decimate large swaths of coastline. However, the high court subsequently granted the state's motion for rehearing. Dave Breemer represents Carol Severance.
