TPPF: Amicus Letter in Eminent Domain Case

TPPF, an ardent supporter of private property rights, submitted a letter brief in support of the property owner, Eagle Ford Land Partners.

Here’s the big picture: A natural gas pipeline wanted land to build a pipe. The pipeline company and land owner weren’t able to reach an agreement. The eminent domain case went to a trial court. At trial, the jury awarded Eagle Ford $1.6Million. The pipeline never paid the award of adeqaute compensation. As a result, land rights groups filed amicus briefs and letters asking the Texas Supreme Court to enforce the judgment.

Those voicing their support for Eagle Ford are:
