What this website is, what it is not, and why that distinction matters when land and deadlines are involved.
Everything on texaseminentdomain.us is general information about Texas eminent domain law. It is not legal advice, it is not tailored to any particular tract or person, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified Texas attorney who knows the facts of your matter.
Texas Eminent Domain is not a law firm and does not practise law. Reading this website, sending a message through it, or receiving a reply does not create an attorney client relationship. Do not send confidential information expecting the protection that such a relationship provides.
We do not represent landowners and we do not guarantee that any attorney will take a matter or achieve any result. Any outcomes described in an article do not predict future results.
We cite Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code and decisions such as Texas Rice Land Partners v Denbury Green Pipeline so readers can read the source. Sections are amended, appellate courts revisit standards, and local practice varies. Verify any section, deadline or figure before you act on it.
Several rights in this area are exercised at a moment rather than held. An objection to a special commissioners award is due on or before the first Monday following the twentieth day after the commissioners file their findings. A final offer gives at least fourteen days to respond. If a date is approaching, speak to a Texas attorney rather than relying on this website.
Links to agencies, statutes and other resources are provided for convenience. We do not endorse or take responsibility for content we do not control.
