Free Range Condemning Entities Graze Into the Greenest Court

On Thursday, May 7th,  Senate State Affairs is hearing HB 2536. Its a fascinating new front in eminent domain legislation granting free reign to condemning entities in Harris County. 

This bill will allow a condemning entity to unilaterally select the court for eminent domain proceedings.  Wouldn’t we all love the power to unilaterally select the best court? the best line at the gas station? the best lane on the freeway?
