What issues are land owners raising in the 12 pending eminent domain lawsuits for the Trans Pecos pipeline?
- Whether the petitions for eminent domain are valid
- Whether there is a proper public use (can there be a public use in Texas if Texas is not a recipient of any of the goods in the pipeline?)
Is this pipeline using eminent domain like every other pipeline in Texas using eminent domain? No, no one has ever built a pipeline like Trans Pecos with the purpose of selling natural gas to Mexico
Can the pipeline start building while lawsuits are pending? Yes.
