Eminent Domain. Church Land. Texas Court Case. Pre-condemnation Access.

The land at issue: On the border with Mexico is owned by the Catholic Church

Where are we in the process? The Bishop denied access to the land for surveying.

The court case: federal district court in McAllen. The church is currently receiving legal assistance from Georgetown University Law School.

The issue: Does the church’s religious convictions trump any taking for a public purpose.
