The Wylys sought to demolish a house in the historic Swiss Avenue district in Dallas. After initial denial by the Landmark Commission, the Dallas City Plan Commission (CPC) granted permission. Preservation Dallas and the Swiss Avenue Historic District Association (SAHDA) filed for a temporary injunction against the Wylys and sought mandamus relief against the CPC due to alleged lack of proper notice. The trial court denied jurisdictional challenges, granted a temporary injunction, and mandated the CPC rehear the case. On appeal, the court affirmed the trial court's finding that Preservation Dallas and SAHDA had standing to pursue mandamus action but vacated the temporary injunction against the Wylys due to a lack of an evidentiary hearing.
