When large-scale highway projects are planned in Texas, the state government may attempt to exercise eminent domain in order to condemn land from private citizens to facilitate the projects, potentially displacing hundreds of residential and commercial landowners. If you expect that your property may be a part of this property condemnation and seizure, it is crucial to understand your rights as a property owner.
At Schachter Harris, LLP, in Dallas, our lawyers help clients throughout Texas fight against eminent domain and, if it occurs, ensure they obtain the full and fair compensation they are entitled to for the value of their property and additional costs associated with their relocation.
Our attorneys pursue all available remedies for preventing eminent domain. In Texas, the process of eminent domain can only be halted if the proposed seizure of property does not meet the criteria for public purpose or public necessity. If the proposed eminent domain is deemed to meet the criteria, we engage in negotiation and, if necessary, litigation to make sure our clients receive the full compensation to which they are entitled.
