Dallas City Hall in Legal Crosshairs | Texas News

A historic preservation group has sued Dallas over the city’s neglect of City Hall, accusing officials of allowing critical infrastructure to fail—including emergency generators, electrical systems, and a deteriorating parking garage—while ignoring legal obligations under its own “demolition by neglect” ordinance. The coalition claims more than 60 days passed after a formal notice with no corrective action, and argues that the landmark designation process is stalled, risking the loss of protections before final approval. With the city council opting to relocate operations instead of repairing the building—and amid plans for redevelopment including a Mavericks arena—the group is demanding court orders to compel repairs, complete the historic report, and halt further decay before it’s too late.
