The intent of this article is to recognize and provide that certain applications and parcels that have been the subject of stipulations of settlement in litigation are exempt from the 2003 Amendments to Chapter
85.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or item of this
article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, such judgment shall not impair or invalidate the remainder
hereof, but such adjudication shall be confined in its operation to
the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or item directly involved
in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
