Description
In this appeal, we review a permanent injunction enforcing a restrictive covenant to prohibit activities of a church located on the former site of the Austin petroleum "tank farm." Although the backdrop of this appeal involves not only religious but also environmental concerns, the issues properly preserved on appeal and within our power to consider are exclusively these: (1) whether the church, as a purchaser charged with notice, is bound by a restrictive covenant on the property; (2) whether the district court properly determined that the churchs use of the property violated the restrictive covenant; and (3) whether the district court could constitutionally enforce a facially neutral and nondiscriminatory restrictive covenant against a church, a proposition that Texas courts have long accepted. Because the district court correctly resolved these issues, we affirm the judgment.
