Once the condemning authority initiates eminent domain proceedings for taking your property, a panel of special commissioners is appointed to hear your case. They will evaluate the merits of both sides and determine your compensation.
If you disagree with their ruling, you generally have 20 days from the date of the ruling to file an objection in the same court. Although there’s no specific Texas statute of limitations for filing an eminent domain lawsuit, you need to act early to build a strong case.
