Texas Local Government Code - LOC GOV'T § 214.167. Review of Refusal to Issue Permit

(a) An administrative refusal to issue a commercial building permit based on a violation of restrictions contained in a deed or other instrument is reviewable by a court of competent jurisdiction if, during the 90-day period after the day on which the permit is refused, the person contesting the refusal gives notice to the permit department that the suit has been filed.

(b) If conditions in a subdivision change or if other legally sufficient reasons to modify the restrictions occur, a person who has been refused a commercial building permit may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to alter the restrictions to better conform to present conditions.
