Eminent Domain Compensation in Texas Lacking After SB 18. 3 Key Points.

In supporting the newly formed texas Property Rights Initiative, the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association representative mentioned 3 issues about eminent domain compensation:

• eminent domain does not involve a willing buyer and a willing seller
• Eminent domain compensation increased in court
  • the TSCRA representative’s family property in 2 eminent domain disputes was awarded 600 times & 10 times more after fighting the taking in court.
• Current law favors for-profit companies using eminent domain power
