Right-Way Sand Co. v. South Texas Pipelines, LLC

Texas Court of Appeals, First District 01-23-00573-CV active

South Texas Pipelines, an Enterprise Products subsidiary, sought to condemn easements for a polymer-grade propylene pipeline from Mont Belvieu to Corpus Christi, with the First District addressing whether PGP qualifies as an 'oil product' under Texas Business Organizations Code §2.105. The appeal turns on statutory construction of eminent domain authority and whether the pipeline operator demonstrated sufficient common carrier public use to satisfy constitutional takings requirements.
