Description
This is an appeal of a declaratory judgment in a bond validation action authorizing the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority ("the Authority") to issue bonds relating to a water project that had been approved by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission ("the TNRCC" or "the Commission"). *fn1 Appellant Friends of Canyon Lake, Inc. ("FOCL") appeals the district court's order granting the Authority's and the Commission's pleas to the jurisdiction and the judgment failing to find that the Authority violated the notice requirements of the Open Meetings Act, see Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 551.041 (West 1994), validating the TNRCC approval, and authorizing the issuance of the bonds. In two issues, FOCL contends the district court erred because: (1) the evidence establishes as a matter of law that at its August 20, 1997 meeting the Authority violated the Open Meetings Act by taking final action on a matter not reflected in the notice of the meeting; and (2) the pleas to the jurisdiction were improperly granted because FOCL raised claims that were exempt from the exhaustion doctrine and were independent of FOCL's claims under the Administrative Procedure Act. We will affirm the district court's judgment.
