Judge Lora Livingston with the 261st State District Court dismissed a lawsuit on June 25 against the Permian Highway Pipeline Project, which will pass through Hays County.
The pipeline, a Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline investment, will transport natural gas approximately 430 miles from Waha, Texas to the Katy area. The nonprofit advocacy group Texas Real Estate Advocacy and Defense Coalition (TREAD) funded the lawsuit against the project and was joined by the City of Kyle, Hays County and a coalition of landowners.
