Houston Condemnation Lawyers
Texas Eminent Domain Attorneys
Is the government or a pipeline company taking all or a portion of your real property? Condemnation or "eminent domain" is the procedure the government - whether it be a state, county, city, MUD district or even the federal government - uses to take private real property for a public purpose. It can be used for freeways, highways, toll roads, streets, parks, civic buildings and many other public purposes. It can also be used by private companies such as utilities and pipeline companies to expand their operations. It is a perfectly legal practice, but the United States Constitution protects you by requiring that you be paid fairly for the amount of land taken and the damages to the remaining land.
When any condemnation case is brought in Harris County, Texas, it must be filed in one of the four Harris County Civil Courts at Law. This is true even if it is the City of Houston or any other city or town found within Harris County.
Mr. Fleming is often asked by the county court judges to serve as a special commissioner in condemnation/eminent domain cases.
