Explanation of Tables

The purpose of the publication is to identify the constitutional provisions and statutes that grant, limit, or restrict the power of eminent domain or prohibit the exercise of that power, and to identify the entity to which each provision applies. Some statutes use the term "condemn" or its derivative to express the concept of eminent domain and are included, as appropriate.

The publication is organized into three tables: Table 1, Texas Constitutional Provisions Relating to the Power of Eminent Domain; Table 2, Texas Statutes Granting, Limiting, or Restricting the Power of Eminent Domain; and Table 3, Texas Statutes Prohibiting the Exercise of the Power of Eminent Domain.

Not every statute referenced in the publication is effective as of publication date. S.B. 1147, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, relating to the nonsubstantive revision of certain local laws concerning special districts, is effective April 1, 2013. The publication does not differentiate the provisions included in the tables that are affected by that bill; however, the effective date information can be found in the text of the hyperlinked statute. Although Chapter 21, Property Code, neither grants nor prohibits the exercise of the power of eminent domain and is not referenced in a table in the publication, the chapter may be of interest to the reader as it outlines the procedures for exercising the power, including the procedures for determining the value of property. Subchapter B, Chapter 2206, Government Code, may also be of interest as it establishes procedures for a governmental entity initiating an eminent domain proceeding.

S.B. 18, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, amended statutes relating to eminent domain authority. Among other provisions, the bill requires each entity authorized by the state by a general or special law to exercise the power of eminent domain, not later than December 31, 2012, to submit to the comptroller of public accounts a letter stating that the entity is authorized by the state to exercise the power and identifying each provision of law that grants the entity that authority. If an entity does not submit the letter, the entity's authority to exercise the power of eminent domain expires on September 1, 2013. The bill also requires the comptroller, not later than March 1, 2013, to report the name of each entity that submitted a letter and a corresponding list of the provisions granting eminent domain authority as identified by each entity. The Texas Legislative Council must prepare a nonsubstantive revision of state statutes as necessary to reflect the state of the law after the expiration of an entity's eminent domain authority for consideration by the 84th Texas Legislature.
