Texas Supreme Court rejects attempt to block Boca Chica Beach closures for SpaceX launches
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas Supreme Court has ruled against environmental groups seeking to block closures of Boca Chica Beach during SpaceX launches. The unanimous decision stated that these groups lack the right to sue for public beach access, affirming a lower court's dismissal of their case. The lawsuit, initiated by SaveRGV in 2021, claimed that the closures violated a 2009 constitutional amendment guaranteeing public access to state beaches. The court clarified that the amendment does not provide a private right to sue. The ruling allows SpaceX to continue its operations without interference from these legal challenges.
