Is the family suing a member of the city? If so they still seem like valid complainants in the case since its publicly owned land.

1. Cromwell family donated 87 acres to nonprofit Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation in 1999

2. City sold 53 of those acres to Blueprint for $10 million in 2024. In addition, the city gave Blueprint 50% rebate on property taxes for 10 years and a 50% rebate on local sales-and-use tax collected on construction material purchases

3. Local neighbors sue to stop the violation of the deed. Judge dismisses the case on "no standing" in 2025.

The land has changed hands a few times since it was deeded to the county. They're sueing the entity that sold it to the people developing the data center.
