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...
