The State of Texas claimed a beach easement on plaintiff’s beachfront property following Hurricane Rita which moved the vegetation line back and put the house on the beach. The State's effort to remove the house was a Fourth Amendment violation. Severance v. Patterson, 07-20409 (5th Cir. May 21, 2012) (per curiam):

The Texas Supreme Court answered our certified questions in this case, see Severance v. Patterson, 566 F.3d 490, 503-04 (5th Cir. 2009), by declaring that Texas law does not recognize a “rolling easement” created by avulsive events affecting the dry beach of Galveston’s West Beach. Severance v. Patterson, No. 09-0387, Tex S.Ct. April 19, 2012, op. on reh. For the panel majority, this answer reifies the claim of appellant Severance to an “unreasonable” seizure violative of the Fourth Amendment in the State’s assertion of an easement (and related regulatory violations) on her beachfront property following Hurricane Rita. (Judge Wiener continues to dissent on this portion of the prior and present dispositions.)

Because the potential existence of this constitutional claim is now confirmed, the district court’s judgment against Severance predicated on Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and (6) must be reversed.
