The state of Texas and certain utility companies have the power under the Texas constitution to take private property for the use and benefit of the public. The Texas constitution requires that just and adequate compensation be paid to someone whose property is taken by the government for public use. If you have received a notice that the government or a utility company intends to take your land or property to expand a highway, build a road, lay an oil or gas pipeline, run new power lines, or for an easement, you are entitled to certain protections, but you must act to protect your property rights.

The Texas condemnation law and process is a specialized and technical legal subject that involves critical deadlines and steps that must be taken by a property owner in order to insure that property rights are protected and that just compensation is paid by the government. Without the assistance of a knowledgeable, experienced Texas lawyer who understands the condemnation process, the characteristics of the property involved and the appraisal process, a property owner may be at risk of receiving grossly inadequate and unfair compensation for his property taken by the government through the condemnation process.
