Texas homeowners protest state decision to make their land a public beach

Charge action violates due process

Homeowners in Galveston, Texas, have filed a legal action against the state government after Hurricane Laura and Tropical Storm Beta came through and altered the beachfront, prompting the state to demand that all land from the mean low tide line to 200 feet inland is public beach. As shorelines actually do change periodically, most times the designated public property is between the low tide and high tide lines, which leaves improved, and privately owned, properties further away from the water untouched.
