The Texas Senate has approved sweeping eminent domain reform for the state that includes:

• Criteria for courts to follow to determine good faith negotiations.
• Creates a “Truth in Condemnation Procedures Act” which requires a bona fide offer in writing.
• Requires any condemnation procedure to be done in public and by a record vote.
• Allows a property owner or their heirs to repurchase condemned property, at the original price paid for the property, if it is not utilized for public use after a 10 year period.
