Governor Perry has HB 2006 coming to his desk by the end of the week that he needs to sign into Texas Law. However, local muncipalities have opposed HB 2006 and my sources tell me that Gov. Perry is going to veto this Bill to appease them.

What is the HB2006? It’s the Eminent Domain bill.

Here’s a summary of the HB 2006:

The Texas Constitution limits the use of the power of eminent domain by mandating that “No person’s property shall be taken, damaged or destroyed for or applied to public use without adequate compensation being made, unless by the consent of such person . . .”. The exercise of the power of eminent domain is generally recognized as a necessary tool of government; however, many have argued that over the years this power has been expanded and used in ways that are improper.

The purpose of C.S.H.B. 2006 is to make changes, additions, and deletions, to various codes and provisions in Texas law, in an attempt to reform the power, limitations, process, and various other issues surrounding the power of eminent domain and condemnation in this state.

That’s right. Gov. Perry plans on vetoing this bill if he doesn’t here from a lot of Texans, and quick. We only have till the end of the week, so burn up the phone lines and emails.

You have your local cities and counties to thank for this. Please contact them and let your local ELECTED officials know that you’ll remember them at the next election.
