Friends:

This, just in from Debra Medina of We Texans about the work to reform eminent domain laws for pipeline companies in Texas. Please spread the word and, please, consider attending this important hearing tomorrow at the Capitol. We apologize for such late notice.

If you cannot be there, please contact your local state representative and senator (click here to find them) to urge them for the reforms contained in Rep. Oliveira's House Bill 3547.

Again, please GO to this hearing if you can get there! This post is here on the Indy Texans' blog where you can share it!

Thank you!

The Battle for Private Property Rights in Texas

IMPORTANT HEARING TUESDAY 1:30 p.m. in AUSTIN.

There are two competing bills addressing common carrier pipeline designations currently working their way through the Texas House. WHY? Well, because, one bill favors the industry, HB 2748, authored by Rep. Tryon Lewis and one attempts to create an objective process and oversight, HB 3547, authored by Rep. Rene Oliveira.

It is critical that Texas Landowners attend this hearing and share with the committee their concerns about the common carrier pipeline designation process (or lack thereof).

Landowners need notice.
Landowners need access to the courts.
Texans deserve agencies that insure the industries they regulate follow the law.

WHAT: Business & Industry Committee Hearing on HB 3547
WHEN: 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, 2013 (or when the House stands adjourned, if that is later than 1:30 p.m.)
WHERE: E2.014, Texas Capitol Extension
