Dallas-Houston Bullet Train Developer Can Use Eminent Domain: Texas Supreme Court

The Texas Supreme Court on Friday issued a major decision in favor of developers planning to build a high-speed train between Dallas and Houston.

In a 5-3 vote, justices ruled that Texas Central Railroad & Infrastructure Inc. does have the power of eminent domain. That gives the company the legal right to force landowners to sell their property to them.

The case centered on an argument from Texas landowner James Fredrick Miles who challenged the company's eminent domain authority by seeking a clear definition that Texas Central is a "railroad company."

The Supreme Court ruling backed that Texas Central and Integrated Texas Logistics Inc. qualify as interurban electric railway companies under the Texas Transportation Code and can use eminent domain to acquire private properties.
Let's see where this goes! 🤔
