It is so nasty that Municipalities (City of Palestine) don't have to adhere to their own governing rules and codes:

City of Palestine City Charter:
Sec. 1-10. - Certain ordinances not affected by Code.
(a) Nothing in this Code or the ordinance adopting this Code shall be construed to repeal or otherwise affect the validity of any of the following when not inconsistent with this Code: continued 1 -8...
Then:
(9) Any land use, zoning or rezoning ordinance or amendment to the zoning map.

If the Court of Law will not hold them to their own rules who will?
