The Permian Global Access Pipeline will soon be cutting through the middle of Texas. This 625 mile long pipeline is slated to be 42 inches in diameter and will carry liquified natural gas from the Waha Hub in west Texas to Lake Charles Louisiana. The pipeline company will soon be sending agents out into the field to secure easements. If they are unsuccessful, the pipeline company has the power to condemn the easements. Acquisitions are scheduled to start in 2021 but may begin sooner. If you have questions about the condemnation process or the project. Please contact me for a free consultation.

In many right of way cases, the first time property owners hear that their property may be acquired by TxDOT is when they are notified of an upcoming public meeting or a public hearing. But before that, a lot of work has already been completed. Are you confused about TxDOT's right of way process? Check out this diagram for help & feel free to contact us with any additional questions!

Although it cut some provisions from the Senate version, the House committee substitute to Senate Bill 421 keeps public meeting requirements and protects against low-ball offers for landowners facing eminent domain actions.

Only 2% of Texas property owners believe that their initial offer from a condemnor is fair, while 95% of Texas is privately owned. We know that condemnation is confusing, but you're not alone. Read between the blurred lines of eminent domain and make sure that you're receiving JUST compensation. Contact us today!

Clients frequently ask us "Can I just handle my condemnation case by myself?"
The short answer is yes you can. However, it has often been our experience that landowners who attempt to handle these cases themselves end up with less compensation and fewer protections than they would have received had they hired competent legal counsel. There are several guides on the internet that claim to explain the condemnation process but virtually all of them contain serious errors. Online resources frequently fail to explain the intricacies of the proper presentation of a condemnation case. Many landowners mistakenly believe that if they just present a set of comparable sales to the condemnor that they can increase their compensation. However, by not knowing what the law allows compensation for, landowners often ask for things that disqualify them from being able to settle. Oftentimes a condemnor (such as the State of Texas) will only allow a landowner one attempt at settlement before beginning the condemnation process. Losing this opportunity can be VERY costly. Landowners often worsen their error by making the same claims to the special commissioners. However, most special commissioners have served in that capacity dozens of times and know what they can and cannot award compensation for. Furthermore, the ability to effectively cross-examine the condemnor's appraiser and present a proper valuation theory is a very difficult task that many people cannot do successfully. Remember, there are no second chances in condemnation. You have one opportunity to be made whole. As such, you should only trust such an important matter to an experienced attorney who specializes in only these kinds of cases.
