Erick Gustavo Holguin

Erick G. Holguin is a condemnation and eminent domain trial attorney with Perez Law Firm, PLLC in McAllen, Texas, with a second office in Houston. He represents Texas landowners when TxDOT, a city, county, or drainage district, or a pipeline or electric transmission company takes their property — including for the new 765-kV transmission lines crossing ranch and farm land across the state. He handles each case from the initial offer letter through the special commissioners' hearing and, when needed, a jury trial.

Condemnation cases turn on facts: how the land is used today, its highest and best use, and the damage the taking causes to the remaining property. Erick develops those facts with independent appraisers, surveyors and land planners, and he negotiates the terms of the easement, not just the price. Many of his clients are families who have owned their land for generations, and he walks them through every step in English or Spanish.

Recent results obtained by attorneys of Perez Law Firm, PLLC include a $7.5 million special commissioners' award, a $1,064,000 jury verdict and a $900,000 special commissioners' award. Each case depends on its own facts, and these results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Amounts are gross awards or verdicts before fees and expenses.

Erick received his J.D. from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2015 and his B.A. from St. Edward's University. He is licensed in Texas, admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and has been named a Texas Rising Star every year from 2021 through 2026. Free consultations and offer reviews are available in English and Spanish.
