According to a posting on the Dallas Chapter No. 6, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Facebook page, a member, as an individual has filed an official appeal to the Dallas City Planning Commission regarding the Landmarks Commission vote that the the Confederate War Memorial in Pioneer Park wasn't a part of the historical overlay.

They had 30 days to make the appeal of the March 4th decision and the dead line would be April 4th.
There wasn't a need to go through the Landmark Commission as I explain in this posting.

I don't know how long the appeal process will take. After the appeal with the Dallas City Planning Commission is exhausted, I wonder if a lawsuit could then be filed. Or could their be an appeal to the Dallas City Council?
You might say that the Dallas City Council voted for this to go before the Landmark Commission and they did. That doesn't mean there isn't some municipal code for an appeal of the Dallas City Planning Commission decisions. It could be another delay of another month maybe. The Dallas City Council could change their mind again on this monument. They have once in the last year.
While all these delays are in progress will the state of Texas make a law preventing the removal of Confederate monuments.
I have privately stated that I didn't think it was a done deal on the removal of the Confederate monument and that there were some potential things that could derail the removal of the monument as the Dallas City Council has chosen to do it. I don't know if the process has been derailed yet, but I will be watching closely. Maybe the process of removal just need to be delayed long enough for the Texas state legislature to pass a law blocking the removal of the monuments.
However, what ever the series of events might be, if the monument isn't gone at some point, the boycott of Dallas begins.
