Oak Lawn Apartments., Ltd. v. State, No. 02-16-00287-CV (Jan. 11, 2018) (Walker, J., joined by Pittman, J., and Charles Bleil (Senior Justice, Retired, Sitting by Assignment)).

Held:  Because the statements in Oak Lawn’s “Motion To Withdraw Award Of Special Commissioners” do not constitute a statement of objections to the special commissioners’ award, the underlying administrative proceeding was never converted into a judicial proceeding over which we have jurisdiction.
