Judge to explain annexation dispute between Bellaire and West U tonight

In a little-known move decades ago, West University Place tried to annex Bellaire and Southside Place. Judge Mark Davidson of the Multidistrict Litigation Harris County Civil Court, will appear at Bellaire’s CenterPoint Energy Community Center on Thursday, February 9, to explain the dispute to all interested parties.
On December 31, 1945, the City Council of West University Place voted to annex the cities of Bellaire and Southside Place. Bellaire fought like hell. And Judge Davidson will tell the story of this little-known aspect of West U’s past.
