How can this be happening in Texas, or anywhere else for that matter?

They practice capitalism in Texas and justice is a commodity, he simply couldn’t afford to buy any.

True in Dallas and Austin, at least!

As with all things in Texas, this is about money. The city of Dallas came after one of my properties and I could only convince them to stop when I showed they would be losing tax revenue in the long run. Like any business or government if it hits them in the pocketbook they won't do it...
The question I have is "without compensation." Who owned the property? I have never heard of anyone having their property ceased--unless it was a drug deal--without any form of compensation.
Also, eminent domain ISN'T illegal in Texas. That's how all road easements are achieved--the illegal part is that they have to compensate you.
I suspect that not everything is being told here or at least not being told factually...

You mean that legally, the State of Texas can eminent domain your property for a road or other project without compensating you?

It seems if government needs the tax money for infrastructure purposes and its needs. Then, there should be a written guarantee, the property will never be taken by government as long as the taxes are paid. Now, if progress is needed and the property needs to be acquired, the progressor needs to pay for the value of the property plus compensation for locating a new property of equal location and value. If it's a business, they would have to pay compensation for loss of business revenue until the business is up and running, this includes advertisements to accomplish the task. Just my opinion.

I believe you are correct. Eminent Domain: Eminent Domain
The power to take private property for public use by a state, municipality, or private person or corporation authorized to exercise functions of Public character, following the payment of just compensation to the owner of that property.

Government officials need to read this and then pass and enforce laws that guarantee this.

Actually no, but they might not give the worth of it.

I can just see some property owner in a Stetson, Winchester in his hands, a chew bulging his cheek, saying, "Sure, lessin' you up the ante some, y'all just come take this here property." 😁

Yeah, I see it, too.
Boy, it's a good thing they never messed with my dad.
He didn't chew, but he had a big temper.
I remember when they bought land with houses on it to widen the highway.
When they got through, most of the houses were still there.
I didn't get it.

Probably had something to do with Stetsons, chews & Winchesters.

No, a Mossberg, fedora hats, Botany 500 suits, and Florsheim shoes.
He looked harmless, but what a temper.
