3 Problems with Eminent Domain in Texas. Hello 2019 Legislative Session.
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association’s Opinion: Texas landowners subsidize pipelines and powerlines says this happens in 3 ways:
- profits often outweigh the rights of landowners with some pipelines & transmission lines
- agents may pocket any money budgeted that isn’t paid to land owners
- disincentivizes fair offers to landowners
- Intimidation. The team of lawyers of pipelines and transmission line companies
- adequate offers are essential so landowners are treated like partners not pittances
