Eminent Domain and the Texas Supreme Court, a Love Affair

What is happening? The Texas Supreme Court has granted a re-hearing to determine whether a high speed rial project in texas qualifies to use the power of eminent domain.

Why is this important? Oral arguments are set to take place on Jan. 11, 2022. The trial court said no eminent domain. The appeals court said yes. So anything can happen.

How will this be important? The case impacts not only the pending high speed rail between Dallas and Houston but additional high speed rail proposals on the I35 corridor from Dallas to Austin to San Antonio
