The best short answer is that you should call an experienced attorney that handles these matters. Title 4 of the Texas Real Property Code governs the issues involving actions and remedies for eminent domain. A real estate attorney is recommended.
1
The offer presented to you.
If you are in Harris County, the Right of Way Division in the Public Infrastructure Department should provide a letter including an explanation of the taking and describe the area of land made the subject of the condemnation. The Right of Way Agent should also provide you with an appraisal of the real property.
2
The special commissioners hearing.
Should a hearing become necessary and should the circumstances require, you will most likely need to acquire your own expert appraiser. It is important to contact an attorney that handles condemnation cases. The attorney should have a history of working with appraisers that are familiar with the Right of Way Division and the condemnation process.
