Texas Realtors join coalition pushing for eminent domain reform

“We believe significant improvements can be made to enhance protections on private-property rights for Texans.”

The powerful Texas Association of Realtors on Thursday announced that the group is joining an organization pushing this session for reform of the state’s laws governing eminent domain.

The Realtors are joining the Texans for Property Rights Coalition “to advocate for eminent domain reform during the 85th Texas Legislature,” per a statement released in the afternoon.

“Texans continue to struggle with an unbalanced set of eminent domain laws at odds with a state known for private-property rights,” said TAR Chairman Vicki Fullerton. “We believe significant improvements can be made to enhance protections on private-property rights for Texans.”

The full TAR announcement is here.
