Farmers Branch acknowledged Monday that the city asked 11 apartment complexes to check whether prospective tenants were in the country legally, even though a federal judge has blocked enforcement of the city's ban on rentals to illegal immigrants.
City Manager Gary Greer called the situation, involving an annual application for a rental license, inadvertent and an "unfortunate error."
Management of seven of the 11 complexes signed the form, though two crossed out the improper language, Mr. Greer said.
