Dear Mr. Proctor:
I am writing this letter for the expressed purpose of providing the
Coppell city officials with certain facts regarding my long standing
litigation with the Triland Development Co.
My contract was breeched according to jury findings in the 162nd
District Court in July 1985, Dallas, Texas. This case is now being
appealed to the court of appeals for the Fifth Supreme Judicial
District, Dallas, Texas.
The Coppell acting city attorney advised the Coppell city council
not to get involved in a private contract dispute. He did not tell
them to get involved in which they did. Triland could not have
changed "The Lakes of Coppell" plans without the city's approval.
This the city gave.
I have appeared before the Coppell city council on many occasions to
protest the city allowing Triland variances, platt approvals, zoning
changes, road changes, and not accomplishing projects promised to
council such as:
1. Completion of the cul-de-sac on Warren Court.
2. Utilities are not on my property as agreed to.
more than 100 yards from my property line.
The sewer line is
I have not received a deeded easement for the 50 foot right-of-way
that will connect the northwest corner of my property to Allen Road
that Triland promised Councilman Ware in open council meeting.
In my opinion these deals made by city fathers and not accomplished
have the effect of making the city of Coppell directly liable for each
and every offense.

I respectfully request that until that time, all promises made regarding
the lakes project are complied with to the letter, the city government
of Coppell grant no approval for any subsequent request made by this
group of people whomever they may be.
Sincerely,
Ray'Warren
