12 Eminent Domain Lawsuits. 1 Pecos Pipeline. 3 Bits Informed Intel.

What issues are land owners raising in the 12 pending eminent domain lawsuits for the Trans Pecos pipeline?

• Whether the petitions for eminent domain are valid
• Whether there is a proper public use (can there be a public use in Texas if Texas is not a recipient of any of the goods in the pipeline?)

Is this pipeline using eminent domain like every other pipeline in Texas using eminent domain? No, no one has ever built a pipeline like Trans Pecos with the purpose of selling natural gas to Mexico

Can the pipeline start building while lawsuits are pending? Yes.
