The State of Texas and its municipalities, along with certain utilities, have the right of eminent domain to take all or a portion of a landowner's property for public use. The process, known as condemnation, can be complex and daunting to landowners.


The lawyers at the Texas law firm of Sanders, O'Hanlon & Motley have decades of experience in maximizing compensation to North and East Texas landowners and fighting efforts to use land for purposes that would diminish the value of surrounding property.

For example, attorney Luke Motley has assisted landowners in maximizing the value of their land value in condemnation proceedings by natural gas companies seeking pipeline easements. Mr. Motley also obtained a significant judgment against the city of Sherman on behalf of a client whose property was rezoned to a use that left it commercially worthless.

Attorney Roger Sanders, recognized as a super lawyer by Texas Monthly magazine, successfully fought a near decade-long battle for residents of the city of Bells, Texas. His efforts prevented a landfill that would have devastated the value of property in and around the community.

Texas landowners facing condemnation proceedings should seek legal counsel. Lawyers experienced in the process can seek a fair appraisal for your property and effectively negotiate with the utility or public entity. Furthermore, landowners may have a claim for inverse condemnation if their land is substantially devalued by a physical or regulatory taking.

Landowners in North or East Texas whose property is facing condemnation through eminent domain, either by a utility or municipality, can contact the attorneys at Sanders, O'Hanlon & Motley for a free telephone consultation at 903-892-9133 or submit a summary of their case at www.texascondemnationlawyers.com. 111 S. Travis, Sherman, Texas 75090.
