City of Pflugerville, Texas, Appellant v. Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 200TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. GV100065, HONORABLE JOHN K. DIETZ, JUDGE PRESIDING

OPINION

The City of Pflugerville withdrew from the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("Capital Metro"), which led to this dispute as to how Pflugerville's financial obligation to Capital Metro should be calculated upon withdrawal. At issue in this case is whether multi-year contracts providing that funding is subject to budget appropriation should be included in the computation of a withdrawing city's financial obligation. Pflugerville asserts that such contracts were not properly included as "contractual obligations," while Capital Metro contends that they were. See Tex. Transp. Code Ann.
