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 attempting to block closures of Boca Chica Beach during SpaceX launches. The unanimous decision stated that these groups lacked the right to sue for public beach access, affirming a lower court's dismissal of their case. The lawsuit originated in 2021 from SaveRGV, which claimed the closures violated a constitutional amendment guaranteeing public beach access. The court clarified that the amendment does not grant private parties the right to sue for enforcement. The ruling allows SpaceX to continue its operations without legal hindrance regarding beach access during launches.
