Eminent Domain/Right of Way Acquisition/Condemnation

"Eminent domain" is the right of the State, or those to whom the power has been delegated, to condemn private property for public use.

"Right of Way" Acquisition refers to the right of the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas Turnpike Authority and  the Texas Transportation Commission to acquire property that is necessary for a highway or roadway.  It also refers to oil and gas pipeline takings.

The law requires that the owner be paid due compensation.

There are many legal issues that arise during a condemnation. Was there a taking of property, and did damage result? Did the condemnor (the one who is condemning the property) have authority to do so? What is the value of the property that was taken? Was there a decrease in the value of the remaining property? Was the proper procedure followed?

At Hammerle Finley, we have attorneys who have been involved in every aspect of condemnation. We have represented government entities, land owners, and even served as Special Commissioners.
