Hi All,

Things move fast. I'm sorry about the confusing issues with the hearing time last week. When I realized that the time was actually 4 pm, I couldn't update because there is only one update allowed in 24 hours. So if you wanted to see the hearing and missed it, I'm sorry. The results were that Judge Polly ruled that the sales contract could be shared with key people, such as heirs. However, the contract would not be made public. She also ruled that the Palacios Preservation Association could have standing.

We learned yesterday that application has been made (again) to the Texas Historical Commission (THC) to have the hotel torn down.
