                       penalties to the City of Dallas under chapter 54, subchapter B of the Texas
                       Local Government Code is reversed;

               2)      This case is remanded to the court of appeals for further proceedings
                       consistent with this Court’s opinion; and

               3)      The City of Dallas shall recover, and TCI West End, Inc., shall pay, the costs
                       incurred in this Court.

       Copies of this Court’s judgment and opinion are certified to the Court of Appeals for the
Fifth District and to the 160th District Court of Dallas County, Texas, for observance.
