Don’t Let Eminent Domain Ruin Your Life

Eminent domain gives state or federal government the authority to condemn and force the sale of private property that is deemed necessary for a public use. With a growing population, Texas is experiencing demand for growth and improvement of infrastructure like highways, electric transmission lines, gas and water pipelines, reservoirs and other public projects. That means that if you own commercial or industrial property, there is an increasing chance it might be subject to eminent domain.

The loss of land through eminent domain can adversely affect your life and business in many ways. The government may claim land you had planned to use for future development, negatively impacting the growth of your business. A new road might run so close to your restaurant that patrons can no longer enjoy the outdoor dining area that contributed to your business’ success. Your home could fall along the path of new powerlines or gas pipelines, forcing you to move out. These and other situations are stressful, but Matt Hurt will fight for your rights as a businessperson and landowner.
