Tuesday a TX Appeals Court Revived a City of Dallas Eminent Domain Case for Want of Jurisdiction

In 2011 Dallas began eminent domain proceedings. By 2013 a special commissioners hearing had not been scheduled & land owners grew weary. So, the landowners asked a court to dismiss. 18 months is a long time to wait. The trial court agreed. On Tuesday an appeals court reinstated the eminent domain case for jurisdictional reasons. Looks like fodder to forthcoming legislation. [Justia]
