Description
Appellants Luella Merritt and Gayle Smith, individually and on behalf of those similarly situated, challenge the constitutionality of eviction procedures pursuant to writs of restitution issued by the justice courts of Harris County, Texas. The trial court found that certain private individuals and a moving and storage company violated appellants constitutional rights, but refused to find liable Appellees Harris County, Constables Dick Moore, George N. Larkin, Bill Bailey, or Deputy Constable Ray Dodge. In three points of error, appellants assert the trial court erred in holding that: (1) state and federal procedural due process rights were not violated by appellees upon seizure of appellants belongings; (2) state and federal substantive due process rights were not violated by appellees upon seizure of appellants belongings; and (3) appellee Harris County was not liable for any constitutional deprivations suffered by appellants. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
