Just received this information from Texas Senator Todd Staples. The Texas Association of Realtors is working hard to make sure your private property rights are honored in our state.
"Your continued hard work and dedication is now paying dividends!
Eminent domain reform is on the way! SB 18 by Sen. Estes has been set for a hearing this Thursday at 9 am in the Senate State Affairs Committee. We are now one step closer to restoring the integrity of our private property rights system in Texas.
We must finish this race strong! I urge each and every one of you to ask your friends, family, and co-workers to visit www.protectyourhomeandland.com and sign the petition and tell the legislature that in Texas a family’s home is their castle and we will defend it!
To follow the hearing first hand, you can visit http://www.senate.state.tx.us/bin/live.php Thursday morning at 9 am, or if you’re in Austin you can come watch the hearing yourself in the Senate Chamber."
