Can my property be taken if I do not receive fair compensation?

Yes, your property can be taken if you do not receive fair compensation. This is because the state of Texas is allowed to exercise "eminent domain" law, which allows them to take private property for public use. When this happens, the state is required to provide the property owner with "just compensation". This means that the owner must receive a fair sum of money in exchange for their property. If the government and the property owner are unable to agree upon a fair sum of money, the state can still take the property and the owner will have to take the government to court in order to secure a fair value. The court may order the state to pay the owner more money if it is found that the state did not offer fair compensation initially. If the court finds that the original offer was fair, the owner will have to accept the sum. It is important to remember that eminent domain law is designed to benefit the state rather than the property owners, so it is important for property owners to understand their rights and to make sure they receive fair compensation if their property is taken.
