Draggingtree Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Houston Chronicle: APNewsBreak: Texas judge halts oil pipeline work By RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI, Associated Press | December 11, 2012 | Updated: December 11, 2012 9:33am HOUSTON (AP) — A Texas judge has ordered TransCanada to temporarily halt work on a private property where it is building part of an oil pipeline designed to carry tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast, the latest legal battle to plague a project that has encountered numerous obstacles nationwide. Texas landowner Michael Bishop, who is defending himself in his legal battle against the oil giant, filed his lawsuit in the Nacogdoches County courthouse, arguing that TransCanada lied to Texans when it said it would be using the Keystone XL pipeline to transport crude oil.
