Beaumont Homeowner Asks Court To Slam Brakes On Oncoming Bulldozer As City Votes To Add 'Below Code' Home To 'Demo' List

In Jefferson County, Texas, The Southeast Texas Record reports:

  • Hoping to save his home from being demolished, Kenneth Wilcox has filed an injunction request against the city of Beaumont. The petition was filed July 7 in Jefferson County District Court.


  • In his petition, Wilcox says that on May 10 the city, in spite of his protest, voted to demolish his home [...]. Wilcox claims that he is in the process of repairing the home but that he may not be able to finish the repairs before the city bulldozes the house. He is asking the court to issue a temporary injunction while he works to bring the house up to city code.
