In a recent press release, the Texans for Property Rights Coalition voiced its support for State Representative DeWayne Burns’ (R-Cleburne) recently authored House Bill 2684. The Bill, which has been filed, seeks to improve the odds for landowners who face condemnation actions by powerful and wealthy corporations and government agencies. The eminent domain legislation will require condemning authorities to reimburse the expenses of landowners they sue if the landowners are awarded an amount significantly greater than the condemnor’s final offer. Also endorsed were proposed legislation by Representatives Trent Ashby (R-Lufkin), Kyle Kacal (R-Bryan), and Justin Holland (R-Rockwall).
