What Is Eminent Domain Law In Texas?
Eminent domain is the power of an entity—usually a governmental body or utility—to acquire private land for “public use.” Eminent domain in Texas is exercised for many reasons, but road projects and pipelines are the most common.
Whatever the purpose, landowners who face eminent domain have the right to hire an attorney well-versed in eminent domain. These attorneys have a specialized skill set to help landowners get fair treatment when their property is condemned.
When a condemnor issues an offer of just compensation to a landowner, a skilled, qualified eminent domain attorney should be able to assess the sufficiency of the offer and, if necessary, secure more compensation for the landowner.
What Should Landowners Do After Receiving An Eminent Domain Notice In Texas?
It’s easy for landowners to feel overwhelmed or confused about what to do after receiving an eminent domain notice. Many landowners do not know their rights in this situation and aren’t sure where to turn to help.
Fortunately, there are a few simple steps that a landowner can take to protect his or her rights in the event of a potential acquisition. Here’s what a landowner should do after receiving notice that the government intends to take their land.
