Know Your Rights!

Your property may be condemned by TXDOT.

TXDOT is actively acquiring or condeming thousands of properties, throughout Texas, via eminent domain.

If you recently received a notice, your property may be affected!

Kelley PLLC is committed to helping you navigate the condemnation process and assert your rights as a property owner.

You may feel pressured by TXDOT or it's agents!

We recommend consulting an experienced landowner condemnation attorney before signing anything.

State law authorizes TXDOT to "take" or condemn property using "eminent domain". In this condemnation process, however, you have rights, including the right to fair compensation for your property.

You may have questions, such as:

  • How much am I going to get paid?
  • When will I get paid?
  • Can I negotiate with TXDOT?
  • How long does the condemnation process take?
  • How does TXDOT determine what my property is worth?
  • How will the condemnation affect my business or the use of my land?
  • Should I allow the Right of Way Agent to enter my property for surveys?
  • Does the Right of Way Agent work for me or TXDOT?
  • Do I have to sign the Right of Way Agent's forms?
  • How long do I have to respond to the Right of Way Agent?
  • Will TXDOT sue me or my family if I don't respond?
  • Do I have to sign a Possession and Use agreement?
