Description

Appellee, General Homes Corporation, sued appellant, City of Coppell, Texas, to recoup certain water and sewer fees collected by Coppell. The trial court entered summary judgment against Coppell for $283,000.00 monetary damages, $36,147.76 prejudgment interest, and $70,000.00 attorney fees. The trial court also granted a declaratory judgment that the fees as charged to General Homes violated Texas statutes, Texas common law, and General Homes vested rights. In four points of error, Coppell argues that the trial court erred: (1) by rendering summary judgment against Coppell for the fees; (2) by declaring that the fees as charged to General Homes violated Texas statutes, Texas common law, and General Homes vested rights; (3) by rendering judgment against Coppell for attorney fees because the City is exempt from such awards; and (4) by assessing prejudgment interest against Coppell because the City is exempt from such awards. For the reasons given below, we overrule all of Coppells points of error and affirm the trial courts judgment.
