T.B. Farms, Ltd. v. Grand Prix Pipeline, LLC

Texas Court of Appeals, First District Not specified resolved

First District affirmed Grand Prix Pipeline's condemnation of a 0.71-acre easement across Madison County property for its 720-mile Permian-to-Mont Belvieu NGL common carrier, holding the pipeline satisfied Texas Natural Resources Code §111.002's eminent domain requirements. The court upheld a $5,588 special commissioners' valuation award after landowner T.B. Farms failed to present competing appraisal evidence or effectively rebut Grand Prix's common carrier status under the statutory framework.
